Comments: Dear Uncle Don,
It looks FABULOUS! Thanks again for being the best cybrarian I know,
and for sending me suggestions of what to do and how to get about in SF.
(I will e mail you today personally about that)! The site looks great,
and you are wonderful as ever, and I hope that you are doing well.
You should publish a book on San Francisco using all your wonderful
photographs. . . (or am I behind the times and you've accomplished that
already? If so, I WANT IT!) I could donate it to Oglethorpe's Library.
:)
Be good. . . or if not, be bad and enjoy yourself.
xxxxoooo

Comments: I really like your page! I lived in SF in 1980, 1981, and
1982. I lived on Corbett actually, and was in the Castro quite a bit.
I feel fortunate to have experienced gay life and SF in those days. I
remember Patrick Cowley, Magnifique, and Sylvester blaring from the
bars, and the hot men roaming the streets. Unfortuantely, many of those
faces are gone. I was back in SF in 1997, the weekend Princess Di died.
The city is just as wonderful. It calls me back time and again. The
gay life though, is not the same. I had my younger friends with me, and
I tried to tell them what it was like, but you had to be there to know.
I will always smile when I remember those days, at the Troc, and I-Beam,
and Alfies. OH GOD!.... I lost touch with two friends over the years.
They are Nick Shekro and Roy (Ruel) Alajandro. If they run across this,
or anyone knows of them, let me know where they are.
THANKS!

Comments: This site has brought me back to my
memories of my first time in Castro. The day I flirted with women for
the first time,the day I received my first pride neckless that I still
wear two years later, and the day I got pulled over by a cop for the
first time.I enjoyed my time in castro and if I could I would go back
and relive the best time of my life. But I have to settle Broadway up
here in Seattle which isn't so bad, but it's not CASTRO. Well, this is
my little info. on castro and if only you could have been there.Well
gotta go.Bye.
