“The Iron Bridge” By Doug Fincher

April 8, 2018 - I awoke this morning at 2:00 and began thinking about the house we lived in when I was six years old (1939). It was located down the hill from the old Center, Texas Grammar school on Arcadia Road. It was big, old and just high enough off the ground for our dog Nellie to go under it in bad weather.
