Afraid of falling I guess and the person I was with<br />(much older) was also afaid to walk on the inside. Since I was smaller, guess who had to take that position-me.<br /><br />Back and forth over that bridge on the way to the Majestic movie<br />theater from ...ah, let's see if I can dredge up the name of the<br />street on the South side of Butler-ah- South Street-now that wasn't <br />that difficult was it? In any case, the family moved from South<br />Street before I could overcome my irrational fear of falling off<br />the bridge. I was institutionalized-moved to Institute Hill.<br /><br />There were other institutionalized kids there-one an Uncle of<br />James-Dick Williams- who couldn't go out on a Saturday morning<br />to play until he completed washing the steps leading to the cellar.<br /><br />And if James ever gets back there, be sure to look under the porch<br />of the Fourth Street home. That is where all those extra war time <br />Post Gazettes were tossed tightly rolled up, protected for posterity<br />or 2020 which ever comes first.R.
