Fricso picts day 1

[Don Coatney]

Had a great day with James Douglas and Sandra. They have a very "cool" flat in the hilly city. I learned that the city of San Francisco is 7 miles long in both directions (this way, and that way). Makes me wonder how the high speed (100+ MPH) chase in the movie Bullet was done. My chaueffered ride today was done in this car and I had a ball.

James looks to be having as much fun as me in this picture.

Here are some sights of the city.

Thanks, Don. It's nice to get out of the house sometimes, even if it's by proxy! Great looking DeSoto, I might add!

[Allan Faust]

From the looks of one pic, I think he may have been in a house... a jailhouse that is..... alcatraz island Don????

Great stuff Don, and James. I am so nostalgic I can't stand it. I used to fish off that little pier in your pictures, just below the viewing point on the North end of the Golden Gate. Man, it brings back memories for me. Lucky Devils! Enjoy and keep the pictures coming.!!!

I don't know if you guys know I still own a house down on the San Francisco peninsula. But anyway this picture I took from my nephew plane and of course it the Golden Gate Bridge. The picture is looking from the north end of the bridge looking toward San Francisco!

And this is the 1895 home that I was born and raised in. Its located in Menlo Park California and its on the tour of the town. Like old cars I'm into old houses also.

And one last picture of me in the back yard of the above house and I was about 15 years old and standing next my buddys model T Ford (We bought that T for 75 dollars)

Great pictures, Don,

Colette and I visited San Fran in 1991, on our honeymoon.

What an amazing, and friendly city.

We loved it, and definitely plan to go back one day.

James Douglas is making plans for next Sunday. The electric railway museum looks most positive at this time. I believe it is north so meeting you there may work. Hope it does as I would like to meet you.
