Bellaire Bridge Calls Me Home…from a memoir written for my Dad
By Nancy Allen
My dad was born in Moundsville, West Virginia, the oldest child of Pap a coal miner and Katherine a Russian immigrant. The mines and the steel mills were always by the Ohio river where the heart of the city beats and flows. Everything in the valley runs along side the Ohio River, and the only way that you could get across the river to West Virginia was, and is, the Bellaire Bridge.

Michigan Open Carry Law – is wrong…
The Second Amendment does not guarantee that every citizen can carry a gun – this Amendment was written in the 1791, which is 220 years ago, when war weary American’s were afraid of the British, French, Canadians, Germans, Native Americans. At that time, there was no United States Army, no organized militias, no state police and no local police. You had to protect your family and home by yourself, by any means necessary, it was a dangerous time.

Dear Readers,There was no way to prepare for it. When Captain called, I checked my calendar hoping that I had appointments but I did not. My calendar was totally open for Labor Day. I told him to check and see if the place was open. What facilities are open on a state holiday? I was pensive, not really afraid because I just knew the place would be closed.
