06.22.05, Phyllis N., Milford, New Jersey, USA, Hello...I have crossed this bridge several times and never new it was the FRANKLAND bridge...Who was Howard Frankland? I am very interested... as I established FRANKLAND HALL MUSEUM after the famous Bostonian Customs Collector..Sir Harry Frankland...1742 in Colonial History....The sir name Frankland seems to be cropping up all over the US....Who is the heritage of this Frankland?..I am proposing an exhibition about the Franklands in the Tampa Bay area. Hope to get some information from you..regards Phyllis N. (Frankland Hall Museum) (howard q. frankland invented the single hook brassiere clasp that can be easily undone with one hand while in the dark back seat of a car with fogged up windows. after an unnerving evening of finger fumbling with an uncooperative, multi-hooked over the shoulder boulder holder, he knew there had to be a better way to unveil the goods. to let the puppies breathe, so to speak. while men around the world owe him gratitude, all he got was a bridge named after him.* bet you don't have that in your big deal museum.)

*unconfirmed.
