Remembrance for Jerry Nachman at City Club

Jerry Nachman's memorial gathering was just what he deserved, thanks to friends like Sharon Bobrow and Maggie Berke, who hosted, and Rita Abrams and Morrie Bobrow and others who performed or spoke about Jerry at the City Club this past Monday. Tom and I shared in this and even got a copy of Jerry's final book "I'd Like Two Tickets to Yesterday," given to every guest! We all sang out "Jerry" to the tune of "Mame" for very clever lyrics Rita and Morrie wrote and sang. Other performers were Darlene Popovic, Sara Hauter, and Stephanie Rhoads-Bickham. Only one person asked Tom if he was Ben 'bong-Torres, here with Leah Garchik. I found out that Bettina Devin has more movies available on Netflix/Amazon, and I was very happy to see CCSF retiree Peggy Gorham and her husband Bill.

MUNI Is Doing This Well: Getting Us Downtown without a Tunnel

As a resident of Parkside who uses the streetcars regularly to get downtown, I was alarmed when I heard that the tunnel between West Portal and the Castro Station would be closed for two years!
But I have to commend MUNI for the relatively smooth transition to shuttle buses.

I've gotten from West Portal to "Soft Power" at the Curran Theater,  to the dedication to our Sister Cities at Powell and Market, and to the Families Belong Together march in Dolores Park without much delay.

The MUNI employees have been very polite and helpful, indicating that MUNI knows how to recruit and train!
