			Speaking of Alemany Boulevard, my father told me an interesting tale of a solemn event that occurred years ago when the boulevard was a [[Islais Creek Covered \|stream]] and the viaduct that now spans it on Mission Street had not yet been built.

	A cousin of my father's had been drowned in the Russian River. His body was to be buried in Holy Cross Cemetery in Colma, which was, in those long-gone days, a great distance from the city. It was almost a daylong trip from the Mission District for the horse-drawn funeral cortege.		A cousin of my father's had been drowned in the Russian River.
