    3. Hi Glenn, I don't know how many of your readers remember my brother Herk DURSCHLAG. He left Brownsville High School in the 11th grade. My parents and two brothers (Herk & Lou) moved to Glen Burnie, Maryland. On January 13th, many of you may have read about it in the newspaper or seen it on television, there was a terrible accident on I 95 in Maryland. A gasoline tanker fell from an overpass onto I 95 into the path of a tractor-trailer truck. Herk was in a pick-up truck behind the tractor-trailer. Four people altogether were killed instantly. He was 62 years old, and retired from Westinghouse. He was married, had three children, five grandkids and a grandson born on the 15th of January. Betty DURSCHLAG Bragg bbragg@cablespeed.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hi Everett, Thanks for alerting me to this accident. I have seen the results of a gasoline tanker exploding. It isn't a pretty site. Am sharing your post with others on the list who might have known him, or are researching that surname in Fayette County, Pa. My sympathies to his family. Edward DUNLEVY
