[californiadisasters] Re: Film of San Francisco After the 1906 Earthquake

I join Lynn in thanking you for that link. Very interesting.

My grannies cousin Mary was in San Francisco on her honeymoon. She always said "The Great Fire" not earthquake. She was traumatized by it I think. Cousin Mary was always with us for Thanksgiving and Christmas and would talk about it. An adventurous honeymoon or a Boston girl in '06.
