<p>Starjack: This is Jack Fertig correcting a few factual errors. And is that pic really me? It&#039;s a very atypical look. Still... not bad, and thanks for including me!</p> <hr /> <div>'''&lt;font face = arial light&gt; &lt;font color = maroon&gt; &lt;font size = 3&gt;Unfinished History&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/font&gt;'''<br /> <br /> [[Image:richmond$sister-boom-boom.jpg]]<br /> <br /> '''Sister Boom Boom.'''<br /> <br /> ''Photo: David Green''<br /> <br /> '''Where The Nun Runs the Men's Locker Room'''<br /> <br /> '''Jewish Community Center''', 3200 California Street. One of San Francisco's most beloved weird characters, Jack Fertig, a.k.a. Sister Boom Boom, worked here at the reception desk for the Sports Center. Sister Boom Boom, who ran for the San Francisco Board of Supervisors in 1982 as the &quot;Nun of the Above&quot; candidate, was a frequent spokesnun for the [[Sisters--Against Guilt | Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence]], a group of drag-queen nuns dedicated to the expiation of stigmatic guilt and the promulgation of universal joy. With respect for personal religious beliefs, the Sisters would often satirize hierarchs and institutions, religious and/or political. Though a quintessential San Francisco phenomenon, the Sisters were in fact founded in Iowa City, Iowa, on Holy Saturday, 1979.<br /> <br /> ''--Dr. Weirde''<br /> <br /> [[Russians in the Richmond |Prev.
