People were still very affected by this tragedy. Linda S. must have been a classmate of C Boster. I moved the in 1972 to open Holiday Inn.

I was 17 years old and working at Holzer Hospital through my high school. I had just walked home when I found out about it and I returned to work to assist in any way I could, there wasn't anything for us to do...most people were dead. We pushed huge wooden hospital beds up First Avenue from the Nursing School in hopes they would be needed but they were not. I left the hospital and went next door to St Peter's Episcopal Church where I knew they had set up a center for families. How sad to walk in and find no one there...the news traveled so fast in the small community. I will never ever forget this as long as I live. It affected our lives in my high school and to this day I have fear when crossing bridges. The new bridge is beautiful but all of us who were alive then know exactly where the old bridge was on both sides of the river. Thanks for posting this.
