About me: | I was 11 years old and in an old, brick elementary school in San Francisco at the time of the OLA fire. Watching the television images of the fire that night gave me nightmares off and on for many years. Often times when I sat in class I imagined I smelled smoke. In 1959, I did smell smoke; an arsonist burned down the gymnasium at our school which brought back horrific memories of the images I had seen of the OLA tragedy. |
