5 is way too few, but here are a few off the tp of m' head... In no particular order...

The 1957 earthquake. We lived on 19th at Ortega and had lots of fallen plaster and huge cracks in the house. It was the first one I vividly remember, and was always my "big one." After, seeing the damage to El Camino del Mar, and John Muir Dr sliding into Lake Merced was pretty cool.

The discovery (by me) of marijuana... From Giannini to Lincoln, the papers I wrote while stoned... and I received A's on almost all of them.....

South Sunset Playground, playing ukelele with Mrs Daniel's - who also played organ at St Gabe's, solo-ing Ave Maria at Midnight Mass circa 1961.

Presenting Mayor Christopher with a book of Christmas Carols on behalf of the San Francisco Childen's Chorus in the rotunda of City Hall...

Assisting in the burning of the Lowell football stands around '68 or so. Not exactly a nice thing to do, but... hey - it was Lowell... ;-)
