Sutro Baths in Flames

Sutro Baths burned down on June 26, 1966. The Bath was located at northwest edge of San Francisco overlooking the Pacific. This photo was taken from the cliffside overlooking Point Lobos Ave.

The image was scanned from an original print (negative lost) and minor repairs made. A sepia rendering captures a different aspect.

The photo was taken with a Yashica Mat-LM (stolen a few years later). I recently found a used one in mint conditio--depicted with my original print below.

Camera Note. 

Yashica Mat-LM is a 2 1/4 by 2 1/4 format camera (Type 120 film). More here: Yashica Mat-LM

Before my camera was stolen I got some great photos of the 1969 People's Park Memorial Day March. More here: People Park March

Update 8/30/15--Recently discovered that my photo is not the 1966 Sutro Baths fire as originally believed. Follow this link for an explanation and additional photos: http://dwkee.blogspot.com/2015/08/after-dark-fires-near-san-francisco.html 

George Washington High School Reunion: My 50th

Fall 63 Grads
(I've known Cookie and Carol (right) since grammar school.) 

Fall 63 - 64 Grads

Not captured in the above photos: Bonnie (center), lived directly across
the street from my home, and Joan (right) lived a couple of blocks away .

Bonnie (far left) and Joan (dancing with Ken Colyer) at my SF
home. Neither my good friend Bernard (dancing) nor Phil (right) attended this reunion.

Craig (right) was not in the group photos either. His parents, Ed and Marilyn were long time
family friends. Dale was pictured--we were the school paper and yearbook photographers.

Stayed across the bay at Cavallo Point Lodge 

(the old Fort Baker).

College roommate Bob, and his wife Lynn, drove up from Belmont for a visit.

Sun rise the morning we departed.

Drive to the airport via Lincoln Golf
