Jim- I worked with Rusty on the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and have often thought of him. I had heard he was hurt pretty bad, but never learned of his passing. Just thought of him again tonight and decided to google him and found this. He was a heck of a good guy and an excellent ironworker...everyone loved Rusty.

My brother was one of iron workers who was injured when a cable broke and killed, I think, it was three people. He was injured so bad he never recovered
and lived a year or so, then died. His name was Gerald ( RUSTY) KING. I was there when the footing was poured. I also remember going to local joint called Miss Kittys to a turkey shoot,glad I did not win because the winner won a live pig. I could see me going back to AUGUSTA GA.with a live pig. I would like to get the history on the bridge, if any can be abtained, and love to get some pictures if possible.
Thanks Jim King
