When we still lived in NE OH, we drove down to Marietta several tims a
year. At least once a year we would drive over the bridge to Williamstown
to the Fenton Glass Works.
As I was thinking of all this, it dawned on me that my ex's mother's family
was actually from Belpre, although during those years we never went there.
It was only later, with David, on our trips to Marietta did we drive down
to Belpre.
Did you ever go to Blennerhassett Island? That place has always fascinated
me.
