[0] San Francisco is where I grew up between the ages of two and ten and where I

lived for a period when I was about 13 and again as a married man from the ages of

Even though I have since lived in Switzerland and settled in London over 25 years ago, I have kept property in California for sentimental reasons

[4] I was born in New York and I loved the United States [5] It is still a land of

enormous drive, strength, imagination and opportunity I know it well, having played in every town and, during the war, in every army camp I have grown new roots in London as I did in Switzerland and if I am asked now where I want to live permanently, I would say London But I will always remain an American citizen

Climatically, San Francisco and London are similar and so are the people who settle

in both cities San Francisco is sophisticated, and like London, has many parks and squares Every day my sisters and I were taken to play in the parks as children We had an English upbringing in terms of plenty of fresh air and outdoor games I
