Maybe a little bit of history repeating itself?

I finally got down to the Main Public Library to see the exhibit about the abandoned #cemeteries of San Francisco. I didn’t expect to find headstones from the library’s collection. This belonged to a rabbi buried out near the Legion of Honor museum. #pioneercemeteries #bayareapioneercemeteries #sanfranciscohistory #sfpl https://www.instagram.com/p/B5_KiNUAI_w/?igshid=roisifrd0ayg

Writing Friends Challenge Day 19: Saturday Snippet I’ve always wanted to challenge myself by writing a book with a big cast of characters. When I started outlining my second novel, Across a Broken Shore I knew Willa would have a big family. It wasn’t until I started writing her four brothers, Nick, Paddy, Sean, and Michael that they really came to life on the page. In just a few chapters I knew very quickly what they each meant to Willa’s life but also what their own hopes and dreams were in 1930s San Francisco. #acrossabrokenshore #yareads #saturdaysnippet #yabooks #yawriter #yastoryteller #yafiction #yahistoricalfiction #historicalfiction #womeninmedicine #historicalreads #1930s #sanfranciscohistory #iwriteya #yawritingcommunity #yawritinglife #yawritersofig #yabookquote #kidlit #yalit https://www.instagram.com/p/CQUlROGLdGK/?utm_medium=tumblr

I finally got out to see the 1938 map of San Francisco. This is the remnant of Laurel Hill Cemetery at the Presidio Library. What an amazing thing! #sanfranciscohistory #bayareacemeteries #map #sfpl https://www.instagram.com/p/BvXi5mTgc9g/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=vlzxqr7ca5r3

#OnThisDay > 43 years ago on November 27, 1978, a very tragic day unfolded in #SanFrancisco. It was on this day that both Mayor #GeorgeMoscone and Supervisor #HarveyMilk were #assassinated by former supervisor, ex-cop and firefighter Dan White at #CityHall. Moscone died three days after his 49th birthday. Harvey Milk was 48 years old. Senator #DianneFeinstein, who was the President of the Board of Supervisors at the time, announced to the public the shocking news on live TV and radio, "As President of the Board of Supervisors, it is my duty to make this announcement. Both Mayor [George] Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk have been shot and killed. The suspect is Supervisor Dan White." Later that night, a candlelight vigil and march took place that started from Milk's camera shop (now Human Rights Campaign Store) in the city's Castro neighborhood leading up to the front steps of City Hall. After the shootings happened, Dianne Feinstein became acting mayor of San Francisco and appointed Harry Britt to fill in Milk's supervisorial spot. Britt passed away on June 24, 2020. #sanfranciscocityhall #sanfranciscohistory https://www.instagram.com/p/CWycK2DrD3f/?utm_medium=tumblr
