Hi there!
I remember participating in the bridge building contest in 1990 and I won. Could you provide a list of the record holders by year? I would be very interested to know how much weight my bridge held at the time. It’s been so long I cannot remember. My name is Michelle Kalski, Class of 1992.
Thanks and keep up the good work!
Michelle
