Romancing San Francisco: [sketches of Life in the Late 60s] Dennis Siluk

Some things have been left out of this book concerning the impressions of the times, in this unlikely story, that took place in San Francisco; -the times were more of an observation to me, now sketches of a life, -and I felt at the time as if I was looking in some big window of a store in downtown St. Paul, Minnesota, trying to wipe a circle in the dead of winter to see the toys. That is how I felt as a Midwesterner in San Francisco, like a toy in the window, -in this new era of freedom, sweeping the country, and it did, that is, it all started right there, right in San Francisco, the year, l968-69; -most names are fictional, some are not. I have provided some sketches of the karate tournament, controversy that filled the dojo, and some moments with Gosei Yamaguchi
