• 1495: “The Grand Island Bridges - 90 Years of Steel and the People Who Took Care of It”

  Interesting Things with JC #1495: "The Grand Island Bridges - 90 Years of Steel and the People Who Took Care of It” – They did not replace them. They repaired them. For 90 years, these steel spans stood because people took them personally. Because someone climbed them in the heat and the cold, checked every beam, every bolt, and fixed what time and weather tried to take away. People like Karen Fischer, and the men and women of the New York State Thruway Authority, who carried the responsibility of keeping others safe, often without recognition. This episode is dedicated to them, and to the idea that care, done well and done consistently, is what keeps a society moving.
