EAST PALO ALTO Family gathers 10 years after tragedy Hunt for arsonist still continuing, investigators say by Becky Trout

n Saturday afternoon, the McKean clan and friends — O and their music and laughter — spilled into Fordham Street in East Palo Alto. Two girls sped along the sidewalk on scooters beneath a string of blue-and-gold balloons. Their elders reclined in the sun at picnic tables, sipping drinks and eating barbecued ribs. Although the afternoon’s mood was festive, it was a momentary bit of joy during an otherwise somber day. That morning the family had
