This bridge • mystic seaport • dore Issue } photo studio PROGRAM NOTES: John Freeman on The Portola Festival of 1913. Although the name and even some postcards were a holdover from 1909, the 1913 Portola was not an earthquake recovery celebra- tion. It was a promotion for the rebuilt city and the upcoming Panama Pacific International Exposition along with other twists. Come and enjoy John Freeman’s presentation on the “Centennial of Portola in 1913—the Multi-Personality Festival.” PARKING: Can be tough. Come early; there are many pleasant diversions at Fort Mason Center—es- pecially the library booksale and its coffee area. Inside the gates, $10 or more—or free, on-street and through the gates off Bay Street at Franklin above Fort Mason Center. As always, best to take the Muni, walk or carpool. COVER CARD The world was much younger half a century ago when President Kennedy was shot, as recalled on a postcard from Dan Saks’s album. We have grown older since then, but are we wiser? Dan writes: “Did the modern era of con- spiracy theory begin with the event depicted on this postcard? On November 22, 2013, it will be fifty years since President John Fitzger- ald Kennedy was assas- sinated in Dallas, Texas.
