Meet Great-Grandfather Ott
Every time I travel on the Benjamin Franklin Bridge, I will think of James Ott of West Collingswood Heights whose father, Pierson M. Ott, was a structural steel worker and foreman of the work crew on the New Jersey side during its construction from 1922 to 1926.
Ott says his father was a daredevil! Read the rest of his story.
