(Tune: 'I've Been Working on the Railroad') <br /> <br />We were walking on the causeway; <br /> Got pushed into the creek. <br />That is why we're using Maple; <br /> It happened just last week. <br /> <br />What we need is something safer <br /> For walker, bike, or car. <br />Echols Street needs a real bridge <br /> So we don't walk so far. <br /> <br /> <br />(When my daughter was pushed off the causeway into the creek in May 1963, I wrote this marching song. Meanwhile I organized some 50 neighborhood children for a peaceful demonstration at Vienna Town Hall later the same month.) <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /><br />Frank V.
