Bridge Walk continues!

The 600 foot Blue Star Highway bridge walk that Dorothy helped organize (see Googling Dorothy) took place over Labor Day weekend in Douglas, Michigan. Here's an article about it, which mentions Dorothy:

Before the 9:30 a.m. walk, there was a moment of silence in memory of Dorothy Lustig, an organizer of the event, who died Aug. 24 of heart failure at 55. Lustig's contribution to the end-of-summer tradition included designing some of the Blue Star Walk T-shirts and creating the kazoo band.

"The sign is still in her garage for the kazoo band," said Helen Sanders, one of Lustig's longtime friends who came up from Florida to adopt Lustig's cats and take part in one of her friend's favorite summer rituals.

"This is the first time I can participate, but unfortunately my buddy is not here," Sanders said, adding she believes Lustig still is rooting everyone on.

"Dorothy is watching, so walk sharp," she told the crowd.

The Holland Sentinel, alas, covered the walk but did not mention Dorothy. A brief obituary was run for Dorothy in that paper on September 1st.

Helen also wrote a comment about the bridge walk here. There are also a number of comments in response to the first post of this blog.
