Older, Faster, Prettier -- The Old Fore River Bridge

If you have a sense of humor and a bit of nostalgia, as do I, you may like this t-shirt! To see it larger or view other Fore River Bridge items, Click here.

In the interest of full disclosure, you should know the earliest plaything I remember was a model of the Fore River Bridge! And, more importantly, my father, Bernard McCourt, was one of the bridge operators for four decades! From bridge operators, sea captains and crews, there is more than a bit of salt in these veins!
