Forget the word "old" and replace it with "former" - hippie ! People who are "hip," (meaning "hep"), don't get old ! A "groovy" point - don’t you agree ? Keep “Calfornia Dreamin” on such a winter’s day. - From “squares-ville” Seattle.

Dear Galomorro: I would like to use two of your photos in the album,"San Francisco's Mt. Olympus/Ashbury Heights" in a memoir I am writing for my daughter. I lived on Clifford Terrace in the late 60's and early 70's, where my daughter was born. This book is to be self published, privately distributed and not sold for profit. The photos I would like to use are "View-Walk" and "Mt. Olympus Park" (view of stairs and pedestal). Thank you for your consideration of this request. Gilda Meyers, San Rafael, Ca (gildasmail@comcast.net). Member name: gildasmail.

An entertaining little news story from San Francisco's history ----- On June 9, 1851, at Sydney cove, John Jenkins walked deliberately into a merchants store, picked up the small safe, carried it to a boat at a nearby wharf and coolly rowed out into the bay. The alarm was given, and a number of merchants pursued an overtook the man. He threw the safe overboard. Jenkins was brought back and taken to a building that occupied a corner at Sansome and Pine streets, the site on which the Royal Insurance Building is now located. The prisoner duly tried by a jury and condemned to be hanged. The impromptu Vigilance Committee wasted no time, and the execution took place in the Plaza the same night at 2 a.m. This prompt action had its effect on the criminal class, and for a while they remained under cover. (Please feel free to erase this once read). Gary :)
