The weather was perfect for our tour of the new Connector and Cable Bridges, led by Bob Thomas, the godfather of the planning for this extension. 16 alums and faculty gathered to reconnect, pun intended, as we enjoyed stories of the trail and SW Philadelphia history as they related to land use, the decline of the industrial core, fishermen, and the evolution of the vision to bring total continuity trail-wise from Valley Forge to .
