Hi,

I lived on Treasure Island for a year and a half. I went to
a school there. I loved hearing the the history about it.
I knew about the Military base it’s hard to imagine the
island thriving. I hope they do rebuild it, although it
was nice being away from the craziness of the city too.
I loved it while I was there. I adopted one of the many
stray cats there. He is still living with me now here in
Kansas.

I loved it!

I live on Treasure Island, have always been facinated by the place and until now knew only the very basics. Thank you for the fantastic history lesson.

I look forward to reading all of your Sparkling San Francisco Stories.

hi richard,

just listened to this episode, the first that i’ve heard. really enjoyed it so far, and look forward to hearing more…maybe enough to be able to choose my favorites!

for now, i was especially interested by your report of the “seagull suits” given to construction workers on treasure island – wonder if they helped inspire “The Birds!” Have you thought about doing an episode on Hitchcock?

All best,
Judith
