Feedback: Bro. Tim Lewis remembers fording at Grassy Springs

Grassy Springs bridge looks great; has been needed for many years
To the editor:

During our time pastoring the Bloomington Chapel Church from 1989-1995, I drove the school bus down this road and forded the creek.

Obviously, when the creek was up, there was no crossing until the ford could be brought back up to shape. The new bridge looks great and i'ts been needed for many years.

Keep the the good work CJE Ann Melton. You're doing a great job!

Bro. Tim Lewis

Sparta, TN
