Great clip! Thanks for sharing. I went to nursing school at Univ of MD in Baltimore, My daughter is a UMD College Park graduate (go TERPS) and I worked as a ICU RN at the world renown R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center on Pratt Street for many years!

Great clip! Thanks for sharing. I went to nursing school at Univ of MD in Baltimore, My daughter is a UMD College Park graduate (go TERPS) and I worked as a ICU RN at the world renown R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center on Pratt Street for many years! It was a very very sad moment to see the tragedy of the bridge collapse and the victims it took with it. I have traversed over that bridge countless times, I grew up going to the eastern shore in the summers and boating on the Chesapeake bay, even now, when I visit my family back east. My heart aches for Baltimore and its people. Rep Mfume did a good job at stating the importance, as you said, of the bridge, the port, its people and the rich ecosystem the estuary provides.
I live in Annapolis, though I grew up in PGH. Very sad to the the U.S., Maryland, and U.S. Naval Academy flags at half-staff. Here is the whole press conference, if you are interested. Thank you for a thoughtful note, Barb. Maryland is a great state.
P.S., I hope you enjoy your next trip back to Baltimore. Coming of age in the 1970s, Baltimore was the arch-enemy of Pittsburgh with the World Series rivalry. So, when my sister married a 'Baltimoriole', I screamed high treason. 😉 For one of the 'other' my brother-in-law is great and my sister happy. 🙂
I LOVE Maryland! I live in Santa Cruz, CA now (18 years now) but have so many ties back there. I was born and raised in York/Lancaster PA, have my siblings, daughters and grandchildren living in PA, go back often. Always visit my best friend, who has resided in Linthicum for decades and I always stay connected with my MD peeps when I go back. A trip to B'more is always a must or Pasadena, MD or the eastern shore for some of the best crab on the planet! YUM!! Roll out that brown crab paper and pass the mallots!

Well, the home of the Preakness will always welcome its wandering daughters.
