My First Visit Back Since Leaving The City in March of 1972
In March of 1972, I and most of my family left San Francisco to go back to West Virginia.
It was not until 1979 that I returned to San Francisco, driving there in a new Subaru DL Sedan. My soon-to-be lover, Ethel Moffat, joined me on the trip.
Since that trip in 1979, I have been back at least 11 times, three of them (1996, 2014, 2022) with my beloved wife Betsy. At the bottom of this page you will find a link to those other visits.
Most of the photos below are from the 1979 visit when on an outing to Corona Heights.

We also went on an outing to Ocean Beach.
This is Ethel Moffat who is no longer amongst the living.
Seventeen years later, in 1996, Betsy and I took Miguel out for sushi.
Cheers!
