A Unique View of the SFZC well told


 Wendy Pirsig's SFZC Visitor's Journal from 1979

When Chris Pirsig was murdered in the neighborhood of the City Center, his father and step-mother, Robert and Wendy Pirsig came from England and stayed in the ZC guest house. At the time she kept a journal with daily observations. After a good deal of editing and fact checking, she and Peter Ford with some input from me, have come up with this presentation of her journal for you.
