Leave old bridge as a beacon to grandchildren

To the editor:

I to agree with the person from Alabama who wrote about turning the old bridge into a walking bridge. I too am from Cape Girardeau and have always remembered the old bridge. It always has been a beacon to me from the time I had to move from Cape to the time that I was in service coming back home from overseas. The bridge was the first thing I could see was the bridge, and then I knew I was at home.

Save the old bridge for are grandchildren. The bridge is as much a part of Cape as the river has always been. Maybe one day the bridge will beckon to one of our grandchildren so they can come back home.
