What a wonderful collection of Gov Endicott photos/postcards. I was especially interested in the one showing the old Weirs Channel Bridge. I was talking to a gentlemen just recently, now in his 80's. He and his brother were two of the youths who jumped from the bridge onto the Mt. Washington to lower its level the day of the launching. He was explaining the construction of the bridge back then and how they were able to do it.

A very worthwhile and interesting site for those of us who are hooked on pursuing local history. Thanks so much for leading me to it.
