"..Fort Point has a long and intriguing history. The story of this site dates all the way back to mid 18th century, when the San Francisco area was under Spanish flag. In order to secure the region against naval attacks, Spain fortified the strategically located northern point of the San Francisco peninsula. By the end of the 18th century, they had built the fort Castillo de San Joaquin; a defensive structure which housed around 10 cannons."

I was born in San Francisco, went to kindergarden at Fort Mason, graduated from Lincoln High and, six years later, was drafted into the Army. I was stationed for two years at the Presidio!
