When I first moved to Mpls 30 plus years ago I lived on University Ave in an apt building that overlooked the bridge. Although I didn't travel the bridge much anymore, I had family members who went over it everyday. My brother normally would travel the span on his way to work at that time of day, but it was his day off. I was at work when the bridge fell and we all watched it on TV in numbed shock. <BR/><BR/>For me, it was a sobering reminder of the necessity to live for today. Thank you for refreshing that reminder.MB Moellenhoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11964714205978433434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6878513974955445011.post-13031740926906964692009-02-23T07:34:00.000-06:002009-02-23T07:34:00.000-06:00I remember when this happened.
