Thanks for this video. On that day my Dad carried me "piggy-back" across the bridge. I was only 4 at that time. I was watching the video hoping for a glimpse of us, but didn't spot us.
wow- my mom and dad walked across that day... Fifty years later, Jay played at the anniversary of the bridge's opening, so many people walked across the bridge began a sway... And my great aunt's partner leapt to his death from the bridge several years after its opening
Thanks. Different times, eh? All those kids wearing cowboy hats and clothes. People forget California was the Wild West and rural at one time. What a feat! Awesome video.
Many pictures and this video show boys and men in cowboy costumes or cowboy hats. Was this a theme for this day? Was it a very popular costume of that time?
Throughout the video, I didn't see a fat person. All looked toned and fit. Nowadays, at least 30% of any crowd: fat, fat, fat. America today is pathetic.
