A New Standard of Caring

We returned to San Francisco a year later to see how the survivors of a terrible earthquake were doing. Betty Kelly still cannot cross a bridge without flinching.  She and her husband were on vacation in 1989,  high over San Francisco Bay, just as the Earthquake struck.  A section of the Bay Bridge dropped like a deadly trapped door.  The Kelly’s honked their horn to warn others.   But Anna Annalonghu died.  Everything Adeen Murphy owned was 4 flights up a twisted staircase. Adeen had lived through a thousand air raids in World War Two London, so she crossed police barrier and found something she had bought only a week before — $2-thousand dollars worth of Wedgewood China.
