    Don Cliver said his mother wasn't supposed to live long after her premature birth, but was the picture of health thereafter.

    Wow! I wonder how much of the Quake did she really remember?

    When you have 10 minutes to spare, watch this fascinating video that was taped 4 days before the disaster. Imagine the 3-year-old girl riding in one of the cable-cars. I just love this! The ladies in their dress, the dapper-looking men standing around watching, and the nerve-wracking automobiles and carriages that cut right in front of the cable-cars (not much has changed where traffic flow goes!). Chilling to realize how their lives changed just days later. Enjoy!
