David was 17 years old when the Sylmar quake shook his world but his family was prepared and he'd already been through other disasters.
She was 16 at the time of the earthquake and feels her life was saved because she woke up ill early that morning. As a young hospital worker she was supposed to be at the collapsed Olive View Medical Center.
David's story is one of the saddest. His mother worked at the VA Hospital and was inside when it collapsed. He and his brothers and sisters lost their mom in the tragedy and it was David who was at the site that morning when her body was found.
Dan is a storied musician/songwriter who spent much of his professional life teaching music and directing accomplished bands in the Los Angeles Unified School District. He survived the Sylmar earthquake and even wore his Sylmar High School 1971 senior sweater to the interview.
Dennis was a well known athlete in Sylmar who went on to become a teacher and a coach and feels his quake experience helped him prepare for what came later on.
