List of voters for the quote

When I arrived in San Francisco in 1957 I discovered a community existing on the edge of the city unlike any other in America.

In the process I lost my innocence and my youth, but gained an indelible memory of a bunch of crazy people who lived, fought, struggled, loved, and even died together with a sense of elan and community that I had never experienced before nor have found since.
