To the editor:
I am interested in preserving the Mississippi River Bridge because it was finished in 1929, the same year I was born. I can remember the first time that I crossed the bridge -- it was like going to a different country. I was around 11 or 12 years old. I went to Ware, Ill., my first time away from Missouri. Thanks for the memories.
