Amid the crowd gathered for the opening of a new U.S. 60 bridge over the Cumberland River in Smithland, Ky., Muriel Dickerson stood out. Dickerson, 102, was living in nearby Salem when the old bridge was dedicated in 1931 and remembered how important it was to have the bridge, which connects the northern and southern halves of Livingston County, Ky. She has continued to live in the community her entire life, going across the bridge on a regular basis. She wasn't about to miss the dedication of the new bridge on May 15. "I just wanted to be here so bad," she said, with a wide grin from under the shade of an umbrella held by her daughter, Beulah Holt. What Dickerson didn't expect was getting to be part of the ceremony. |
