And Goethals and Holland were what? Dogs?

Major General George Washington Goethals supervised the construction of the Panama Canal and was the first consulting engineer of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.

Clifford Holland was the first chief engineer of the tunnel project (initially called the Hudson River Vehicular Tunnel), and after his death at age 41 while the construction was still under way, the state legislatures in NY and NJ agreed to name the tunnel after him.
