Video: Local Man Recalls Golden Gate's Unveiling

John Collins was 11 the day the bridge opened. He still has his ticket from walking across it that day.

The 75th anniversary of the opening of the Golden Gate Bridge came and went this weekend and for one Capitola resident, the milestone was a special one.

John Collins, 86, was 11 the day the bridge opened and he still has his ticket that he used as entrance to walk across the now iconic span.

KION spoke with Collins last week. See the video of their conversation above.
