    It was a touching ceremony on Sunday highlighted by the remarks and readings of UML’s Todd Tietchen, Ph.D. and esteemed Lowell Veteran’s Council Commander Robert Page; culminating in the dropping of flowers from the bridge into the Merrimack River.

    ComeToLowell.com is producing a documentary about the bridge for release in early January, including a presentation on the new series “The Lowell Connection” on LTC.
