SEP 20, 17 (PART I of II) .. GAYLORD, MICHIGAN

By Cap Chastain September 20, 2017 Gaylord MI 2 Comments

Patti and I arrived here in Gaylord last night about 9:30pm. Both of us are just a tad road-weary.

 

 

We plan to stay here an absolute minimum of three (3) nights and could stay an additional two nights extending our stay into this upcoming Sunday the 24th of September.

We have medical appointments next Monday the 25th in the Detroit area that we already have pushed back a full week and we intend to keep these appointments.

Now to Part II of II.

Smiles ..

Patti and Cap

    The bridge was completed at the end of the summer of 1957 wasn’t it? So you must’ve seen them completing it when working at the grand. I’m surprised you didn’t end up helping them in your Forest GumpNess.

      Yes indeed Chad. I had a good friend who was a recent (June 1957) graduate civil engineer from the University of Michigan who worked on the bridge. Yes indeed, I used to sit on the front porch of The Grand Hotel and watch them place the gigantic sections of the bridge into place, one section at a time, until the basic structure was completed. It was as if it was just yesterday Chad. Smiles.. Cap
