Well-deserved, indeed!
It's utterly amazing what the museum has been able to accomplish, in some cases in incredibly short time-spans as was the case with this bridge. Also great to see the Ramsdell/King families get the recognition for saving Number 9, keeping her sheltered for all those years, and working with the museum to ensure that future generations will get to see this historic piece in operation.
Just to put a face on the name, here is a photo that I took of Mr. Dale King, grandson of Frank Ramsdell, when he spoke during the celebration of #9's 125th anniversary, back in 2016. Mr. King is on the right in the photo and then WW&F President, Steve Zuppa is on the left.

Stewart, there is a LOT more water under that bridge than there was the last time I was up there.
