Corbett Signs Bill Naming Albert Earl Momme Bridge, But Don't Tell Al!
House Bill 2345 designates the bridge over Stony Creek on Burnside Avenue in West Norriton as the "Albert Earl Momme Bridge."
UPDATE: State Rep. Mike Vereb is asking Al Momme's friends and well wishers to not mention the bridge naming to him just yet. Al's family apparently hasn't told him and Vereb's office is planning a grand unveiling a little later this summer to surpirse him. Let's all keep the secret.
