| | In a tremendous creative quest to light up the local Island
neighborhood for the 2002 Christmas holidays, our friends and neighbors across
the street designed, constructed, and erected a true replica of the San
Francisco Golden Gate Bridge. Dave and Carrie Bockholt, had been working
on this project over the past year. The bridge is now complete and spans
the waterway between their home and their neighbors house across the water, a
total of 108 feet. Dave solicited the assistance of some of the neighbors
around. I was asked to design the flashing beacons on top of the two
towers, and help with the erection of the bridge itself. The following
chronicles some of the work involved in the bridge project. The bridge is
1/60th scale.
The Bockholt Golden Gate Bridge in the making.
