A great production. First walked over the Delaware to Camden in 1960 when I was 12.
My mother's father, Frank Myers, was one of the engineers who worked on the Benjamin Franklin Bridge. He also worked on the Tacony Palmyra Bridge, both for the Delaware River Bridge Joint Commission. The work on the Ben Franklin bridge completed about a year before my Mom was born. She affectionately calls it 'her Daddy's bridge'!
Carol Worthington-Levy Just watched this video. Very cool! Was hoping your Myers was a relation, but I couldn’t find anything. Still very cool to know. Thx for sharing!
My great grandfather was a riveter on that bridge.
Imagine how lit the 100th anniversary is going to be this decade.

I'll never forget something I saw in MAD magazine in the early 1960's - They were doing a spoof of Ripleys Believe It or Not!. They wrote: Contrary to popular belief, Camden, NJ IS NOT DULL! It just seems that way because it's right across the river from "exciting" Philadelphia, PA!
