1. What’s your “death missed me by seconds” story?

OK. Don’t judge too much. I was just a fourth grader. But on winter mornings, my pal Clancy and I would walk over this bridge, and as the school bus whizzed past, we would reach out with our gloved hands, touch the bus along its bodywork, and try to run down its full length. Eventually, we got into real trouble with that, as it was very icy and prone to slipping under the bus’s wheels. We were called into the principal’s office and met by our fathers, who read us the riot act.
As good little boys, we started using the pedestrian bridge next to the roadway bridge.
