My father grew up in Greene where his father was the local dentist in the early 1900's through the 1930's. His office was on that corner above the bridge. He could look out his office window and see his sons diving off the old bridge into the Shell Rock River. As a young girl visiting my grandmother, I would stand on that bridge with my little windmill spinning. It held alot of good memories.
