Are you sure that letter is confirmed as mailed from Reno?

No but both have the 89 zip code ?

It was the Kathleen Johns and the Halloween card which had the 89 postmarks Chaucer, I've not included the Pace or Pines cards.

The Pace card was mailed October 5th, 1970 just like #11 on your list. The Halloween card was mailed October 27th, 1970 and is listed as #12.

Please see amended, confused myself by copying the list of Wikipedia, never a good idea.

The two with 89 were definitely Johns and Halloween.

I think those are both thought of as 6B, rather than 89. Would you know where 6B is in San Francisco?

That would be Hayes Valley which is located in north central SF and is located right off of - you guessed it - 101/Van Ness.

Personally, I can’t tell if it’s an 89 or a 6B but 6B would certainly fit the emerging pattern better.

It would make more sense. So the next port of call could possibly trying to find something that ties the ones away from 101 together ?

That's a good summation. The Van Ness Avenue and 19th Avenue proximities might make a case for Zodiac not living in San Francisco, since Van Ness was a natural extension of both the Bay Bridge and the Golden Gate Bridge. 19th Ave (and Park Presidio -- aka 13th Avenue) were as you point out natural extensions of the Golden Gate Bridge -- and also of Highway 280 which services the south bay.

The San Rafael drop is interesting, for one. Was that an authenticated letter?

I know I could do this myself, but is there any way you can incorporate the day, date, and a.m. or p.m. into your list of letters? I know these are not hard-and-fast proven facts when it comes to the times, but I'd love to visualize it all together.

My POI moved away from the Bay Area (several hundred miles) in November of 1969 to attend college. I feel like a lot of the mailing line up with school holidays and could have been posted on the way in or on the way out of town.

Thanks. This has been good work and very helpful for us visual learners.

Yes. There is only authenticated on there now. It’s the Pleasanton/Dublin one that interests me with it being on the opposite side of the bay.

Sorry won’t be back at my computer until Tuesday now, but can do it then for you.
