An I-35 bridge in downtown Minneapolis collapsed tonight at 6 pm, during rush hour traffic, plunging at least 50 cars into the Mississippi River. There are three known dead so far, there is search and rescue going on, many casualties taken to local hospitals. 200,000 vehicles cross this bridge every day. It is a steel bridge, 40 years old, it passed inspection 3 years ago. What a nightmare! Prayers for all those involved!

I grew up in Southeastern Pennsylvania on a farm. My Dad was a farmer and worked a night shift job in addition to farming for 20 years. My Mother worked part time for the local town Doctor, as his nurse. I'm the oldest of 6 children. I'm the oldest my sister the youngest, with 4 brothers in between. Also, 8 years in between us first three and last three siblings. I came to Duluth as a bride in December, 1969. I met my Duluthian husband to be when he was in the Army in New Cumberland, PA. He wanted to start his married life in his hometown and I agreed. (I was very naive about that). Together Bob and I raised 3 great children, all grown now...a grandson and a granddaughter...all the delights of our lives. I would not have survived 36 years in this town if not for the support given me by my husband, Mother in law and her family, parents and all the many friends that I have made throughout these years.
