Good evening, my name is wendy beck and im a walking miracle. Its a miracle that i have not killed by a bicycle or a car after countless misses. Im a walker and driver who biked and walked in new york city but i never have felt threatened here in San Francisco.

At this point, we are just minutes away from the memorial beginning. The man we just saw there at the lectern, just asked groups to be seated, known as pastor renee. We have people in our newsroom who say, boy, if you live in santa cruz, you know pastor renee. And even if you dont attend his church. So again, that was pastor renee, asking everyone to go ....
