In addition to the “On This Day in San Francisco” feature I also want to use this blog to celebrate the lives and achievements of prominent, and perhaps some less well known but no less extraordinary, San Francisco characters. Whilst names like Emperor Norton, Adolph Sutro, Harvey Milk, Jerry Garcia and Willie Mays might spring immediately to mind I want to focus on others whose contribution to the city’s colourful history has been equally as remarkable. I’m even open to offers as to suggestions who might be covered!
Again, I intend to introduce my first character in the coming days.
