Later - and, as

Touching the Past
Apr. 17th, 2011 06:19 pmWhen I was a little girl, I used to listen enrapt, to stories of the Great 1906 Earthquake. The mother-in-law of the owner of the hotel my father was resident manager of, had been a girl in 1906 and had lived through the earthquake, and some days, I would go up to her apartment for tea and stories. Too bad I was too little to quite realize I was touching history. So this account, recently discovered, of a young woman's experience during those dark days held special meaning for me.
Leonie von Zesch, the daughter of a German countess, graduated in 1902 at age 19 from the College of Physicians and Surgeons, San Francisco, and built a thriving dental practice in the city prior to the great quake and fires of 1906. Among the typewritten pages bequeathed to her niece was a description of the disaster as it eerily unfolded around her. She would lose almost everything, including her home and office.
