Mind you Derrick, I wasn't complaining.  I never cease to be amazed  
at how these people talk about all sorts of things with each other as  
friends that we've come to be.

The south end of the Glenwood Bridge?  I've been there but I'll be  
GTH if I can remember what it looked like.  I was 19 the last time I  
saw it in its original format.  I'll forward to Bromley and see if he  
can remember.  Bob Rathke photographed the old bridge.  I walked over  
the hill on 56 but couldn't remember any of it today.  Same as I  
really cannot remember much of what East Ohio Street looked like  
before it was widened to accommodate flexible transportation.
