Geo. McLeod BUILDING THE GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE

This vintage snapshot is a recent acquisition. I know nothing about the man other than what is inscribed below the image. I find the idea of standing on the top of one of the Golden Gate Bridge's towers terrifying. I love the bridge, but no amount of money could get me scrambling around on the structure, especially when it was being built.

Geo. McLeod is a hero to me.
