Wonderful memories of the "fun" days of San Francisco
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
This book will bring back memories of the fun, exciting, wonderful days and nights of the 60s in San Francisco. Names,places and incidents I had forgotten about were brought back to life by Barnaby Conrad. I found myself laughing out loud at the anecdotes shared. A great gift for anyone who lived in SF at the time. Nostalgia at its best!
