After the rain

FYI
Film maker Kate Schermerhorn writes me that her film SEEKING 1906 will be playing nationally this month and next. (For those of you in the Bay Area who didn't see it during centennial week in April, it will play again on KQED, at 10PM, Tuesday October 31st.) I appear in the film with Simon (near the beginning) as does my hairless cat Lucius Beebe who has a cameo role, as well as some of my kachina jars. In the film, all of the still photos of the destroyed city in 1906 are from my collection. They can also be viewed on my web site in the San Francisco History and Images section under the title A YOUNG WOMAN’S ALBUM http://www.ronhenggeler.com/

Seeking 1906, a one hour documentary, is a fascinating and sometimes humorous journey with best-selling author, Oxford-trained geologist, and adventurer Simon Winchester as he researches his 18th book, A Crack in the Edge of the World: America and the Great California Earthquake of 1906.

Here's a copy-and-paste of what Kate sent me.

October 5, 2006. A skyline view at 3pm from my window in the round room. Despite an earlier rainstorm, and then in mid-afternoon, a sky filled with huge cumulus clouds, the Blue Angels still practiced their maneuvers over the city in preparation for the Fleet Week Air Show this weekend.
