Steel, concrete and poetry: the making of a Bay Area landmark By Peter Hartlaub, SF Chronicle
When the American Experience documentary 'Golden Gate Bridge' premieres at 9 p.m. Monday on KQED, Bay Area residents will get a studious look at the most recognizable structure in the West. But they'll also get a tribute to the people who were on the scene in the 1930s -- including several who are still around.
'Golden Gate Bridge' director Ben Loeterman said San Francisco officials didn't have a formal list of surviving bridge workers, but he was hopeful that a few were still around. He found Kring after calling four or five of the main bridge engineers' students now living in the Midwest, one of whom had spoken to the veteran bridge-builder in recent years. "
