Did you know that before the 1989 earthquake happened Terry Steinbach, catcher for the A's...

hit the last home run in Game 2 of the 1989 World Series . Fortunately, no one in Mr. Steinbach's family tree died during the 1906 earthquake! I guess there's no six degree's with this example!

Lastly,
during the 1906 Earthquake Centennial wrap-up on April 23, 2006, Mr. Steve Kawa spoke the most poignant and accurate articulations about the individuals who live in San Francisco. He stated (referring to the aftermath of the 1906 earthquake), "the population of San Francisco was 430,000 at the time of the earthquake. With so much devastation you would think a lot of folks would just say 'adios' and move elsewhere. But they stayed, they rebuilt."

I believe Mr. Kawa's comments sum up what I believe all of us in San Francisco will do after the next catastrophic earthquake!
