I found this significant bridge supported by this Canmore record. All the ref's used by Canmore are reliable (find them through Amazon), except the first which I couldn't find (but didn't look very hard). Note that this is not the Ha'penny Bridge in Glasgow over the River Kelvin listed at Halfpenny Bridge (disambiguation).


Valton Tyler[edit]

Valton Tyler (March 30, 1944 — September 25, 2017)[1][2] is an American artist engaged in printmaking and painting.[3]

Early life[edit]

Valton Tyler was born and grew up in Texas City, Texas the site of the Texas City Disaster in 1947, the explosion of tons of ammonium nitrate fertilizer in which 581 people were killed and which was felt as far as 100 miles away. [4][5][6] Tyler was three years of age at the time of the explosion and the colors created by the resulting fire profoundly affected the young boy.[7] His father had issues with depression and alcohol abuse and Tyler had an out of body experience at the time of the explosion and a visitation from an angel as a teenager, along with his own difficulties with alcohol and depression as an adult.[4][8]
