Barbara, I enjoyed the story and conclusion. I must admit that I had been a bit critical about our granddaughters wearing the latest ripped jeans fashion, if you can indeed call that fashion. Their moms told me that the girls either would not wear them around me, or would wear them just to hear what I would say.
As a way to let them know I indeed could be “hip too” , and to see their reactions, I bought a pair of modestly ripped jeans, on sale, of course. The looks and words when they saw what I was wearing rivaled Boots granddaughters scream! Thanks for the memories.
What I like about this article (which I read aloud to my husband) is the reminder of how important journalists are to our well-being. Unsung, underpaid, watchful, informed, they just do their jobs. I know there are a range of journalists now and that the term has loosened a bit, but the ones I like and admire are the ones such as yourself. Thanks for the reminder!
Terry. I wish you linked the article you wrote about the Prosidio. Did not know you had also been an investigative reporter. You are intimidatingly talented.
Thanks, Kate! I'd prefer to be talented and not intimidating. :-0 San Francisco magazine has unfortunately evolved into a luxury lifestyle magazine and doesn't post their archives. But I've reprinted it on my web site here: https://www.kerrytremain.com/trouble-in-the-presidio

I am loving these stories so much. Heroic and hilarious. It’s like a little visit with you both when I read them.
