April 18, 1906 Earthquake and Fire Remembered
Herb Hamrol (with Hank in 2007) attended the festivities again in 2008, his second year as sole survivor. Says Hank, "At 105, Herb seemed even more vigorous than last year. He stressed having self confidence in addition to traditional kinds of earthquake preparedness. Later, at breakfast at Lefty O'Doul's, Herb tells me he briefly considered retiring from Andronico's earlier this year but decided to stick with it. Whenever I see Herb, we inevitably talk about the ways San Francisco has stayed the same while others dwell on just the opposite. "It hasn't changed that much," says Herb, "San Francisco is still the most beautiful City. It still has the best hotels and restaurants, and everything you need to enjoy life." |
