Charles Kuralt takes a look at people who build things, including an interview with Alfred Zampa on the 50th anniversary of the Golden Gate Bridge.

KGO TV had a really nice piece on Al Zampa and the generations of Zampa ironworkers that have come after him.

They’re the first family of Bay Area bridge builders. Claiming four generations, the Zampa’s have been watching the transition from the old to new Bay Bridge as closely as anyone. The family has come full circle. Late patriarch Alfred Zampa was an ironworker on the bridges in the 1920s, while his great grandson worked on the new Bay Bridge.

The annual Walk of Honor for veterans is happening on Saturday, May 18, 2011 on the Al Zampa Memorial Bridge. This is a walk honoring ALL military veterans, an opportunity to say “Thank You” for their service to our country so that we may enjoy our freedom. Check out the website for more details.

This week, ABC 7’s Heather Ishimaru has been telling the stories of the 75th anniversary of the Golden Gate Bridge. As a part of her coverage, she has featured the Zampa family in two stories.

On May 21, the story centered on the Gladiator Women Program, which was designed and implemented by Dick Zampa Jr., Al Zampa’s grandson. It featured the Field Ironworkers Apprenticeship and Training Center and the women in the program.

On May 22, the story was on the bridge builders themselves. This story included a classic clip of Al Zampa himself in 1987.
