This is a wonderful story. A fine tribute. Do you still live in San Francisco? I have not been there for nearly forty years. Lived in Los Gatos for a year as a High School student and went to the Golden Gate City as often as I could. Now I live in a small Pueblo in Spain. Eloped 13 years ago and never looked back. Kind wishes to you and take good care, Kai
