Well, he was before my time-- served as gov from 1947-51. But I'm told
that he was responsible for creating the regional highway master plan
that included the John Hanson Hwy, the BW Parkway, as well as the
Chesapeake Bay Bridge which opened in 1952, thus it was renamed to
honor him in 1967 after his death.
