Again a lot of good entries. San Francisco is such a great town but then, you all know that. Sherry Harris' entry won a signed copy of San Francisco's Lost Landmarks and a paid search on Researchity at http://www.researchity.com/. She described a personal experience that spoke well to the topic, giving us a sense of being there. It was so San Francisco. All the entries evoked memories of the town from so many angles. Roland's right -- the SF Ballet's Nutcraker Suite is an experience to be treasured. I did that with our kids. Elvis at the Cow Palace--the critics panned him but his fans including Helen adored him. What a loss! Bill Roddy always comes up with poignant stories. You should see what else has has to offer at http://americahurrah.com/SanFrancisco/Memories/sfmemNBC.htm. Helen, please send me your mailing address privately and congratulations! Thanks to all for sharing! Jim -- James R.
