Jack Grippi is back! We know you’ll enjoy watching his presentation, about the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake and Fire, that will focus on the stories of the heroes on that day. A free ticket is required to attend. Donations greatly appreciated!
In this month we commemorate the 118th anniversary of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire. During and after the city’s near complete destruction, numerous heroic stories abound of ordinary citizens, government employees, military personnel, and first responders who rose above great odds and placed themselves in mortal danger to save infrastructure, lives, or institutions. Their actions are inspiring, and their stories deserve to be remembered.
Jack Grippi is a native New Yorker who adopted San Francisco since retiring in 2014. After receiving his M.S. in geology from the University at Albany, Jack worked as a Petroleum Geologist for Occidental Oil and Gas. He now leads walking tours for SF City Guides and the SFHS.
Tickets are free. Donations greatly appreciated (they make the show free!).
Tuesday, April 9th at 6:30PM (In-person guests need to arrive by 6PM)
