In 1930, my greatgrandparents purchased a beautiful farm in Bradford County, PA, in a little hamlet called French Azilum. In the summer, we spent time there, resting, breathing in the fresh air, enjoying the wild flowers, the bright stars and planets on a clear moonlit night, and swimming in the Susquehanna River. If gas drilling is allowed to continue, Bradford County and all of Pennsylvania will be forever changed, ruined beyond repair.
That was so poignant. The comparison shot of 1972 and 2011 with the same flooded bridge and the pictures of Towanda were the most dramatic. It's hard to believe that that Towanda is the same place we shopped at the 5&dime as kids and visited Karen more recently.The power of the river and creeks makes a mockery of man-made things.
