golden gate park: views from the thicket 
Dear Heath,
We attended your talk “Golden Gate Park: A Stroll Through History” and found it fascinating. Just wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed it and learned from it.
Also, I (Liz) am co-chair of a community effort to tile our steps (extension of 16th Ave between Kirkham and Lawton). We hope to continue beautifying the Inner Sunset. You may check out our website at http://www.hiddengardensteps.org.
Peace, Liz
