The guy’s embellishing the truth or he has a photographic memory. I was born in 1972, and I sure as Hell don’t remember Watergate.

The main Earthquake party used to be in the Mission District. I forget the exact location, but it was at a fire hydrant. That hydrant was the nearest one that worked after the quake.
Conveniently located outside a bar.
I do not know if the place even exists now. Last one I attended was in 1987.

Kinda strange in a way, that in the last 108 years, this guy can only claim to be a survivor of the 1906 Quake. You would think he would have survived a lot more incidents and close calls in all that time...

Made me think of the guy on the show “I’ve Got A Secret” in 1956 who has seen Lincoln assassinated and he remembered it.
