Well, thanks VERY much for looking - interesting that there was a hospital
in San Leandro by the name of Fairmont - hummmmm. I'll keep looking and
listening - I see the Fairmont Hotel in SF was named for a James G. Fair - I
run that down also.... I'm checking out O'Brian's "This Is San Francisco"
now.....

Thanks for the help!

RUTH
