In a casual conversation with Patch reader and long-time Moraga resident John Eriksen the topic came up: "Do you remember the pipeline bombing and fuel fire in Canyon back in 1969?"
John has one of those memories you envy and even though we were both young scuts back then he recalled another friend, Cosette Ellison, mentioning the blast - which was huge news and probably equal in "local buzz" to the recent conflagration in San Bruno - even though there were a lot fewer of us around back then.
