Leo Frigo Memorial Bridge
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Leo Frigo Memorial Bridge (formerly Tower Drive Bridge) is a bridge along I-43 over the Fox River at the point it meets the Bay of Green Bay. It was named "in recognition and appreciation of Leo Frigo, a civic and philanthropic leader in the Green Bay area whose legacy includes one the largest food pantry programs [Paul's Pantry] in the nation for feeding the hungry."[1]
Being the highest bridge in Green Bay, Wisconsin, it has been the scene of many suicide attempts. Probably the most famous was on July 19, 2004, when a woman, Tina Zahn, was saved by a policeman, Les Boldt, who managed to catch her before she fell to her death. It was captured on film by the police car's dashboard video camera. Boldt and Zahn were 'reunited' on The Oprah Winfrey Show. She has since written a book, Why I Jumped, on her experiences.
