September Meeting
Our meeting on September 19th at Scott’s Seafood, Jack London Square, was a joint meeting with our friends from the Oakland Heritage Alliance. We welcomed Richard Schwartz, author and historian, to talk about his experiences writing several books on the history of the Bay Area, Berkeley and the San Francisco earthquake.
