“What brought you to San Francisco in the first place?”
“Well, I lived in the East Bay till ’74. In ’81 I joined the Navy, did 6 years as a Navy corpsman. My boat was the USS Mars. Got my training as nurse, I’ve worked in every hospital in the city except Chinese and the VA. ’85 moved in the neighborhood proper. Both my kids were born here. I can walk to anything, everything is here, I love it!”
