Ted is a student intern working on the Mount Sutro tower, located along the southern hills of San Francisco. Teddie is sent to Mount Sutro by her Los Angeles television station where she is to assist in the placement of the tower’s first television antenna. Ted and Teddie soon find they have more than their name in common as they work on Mount Sutro. They find love’s attraction there. Their time together is brief, however, as they find themselves separated shortly thereafter, one working the “odd” days on the tower while the other works the even. Their love lives on along the tower’s legs, however, as Ted and Teddie find the elevator that runs through the lower and upper legs of the Sutro Tower a perfect place to scratch out daily notes to each other. They finally agree to meet the next Sunday. They can’t foresee that they will not meet again from this lofty reach for nearly twenty years.

In those ensuing years, a young engineer that works along Ted’s side keeps Ted’s cell phone charged in a power source atop the tower, ever awaiting Teddie’s return. Teddie finally does return to the Sutro Tower to adjust the location of her T.V. station’s antenna. She is so close to the power source and cell phone that is programmed to dial only one number, Ted’s. She has no need to search for that phone and hear Ted’s voice after so many years until Mother Nature steps in to throw her off her feet, and reunite her with her lost love.

Sutro is whimsical in its entirety. Some might say it is fantasy. Whichever one chooses to call it, Sutro is played out from a very real and exotic setting. Yes, the Mount Sutro Tower is the backdrop for this saga of love. The views from the tower’s platform, often obscured from the ground due to the low deck of fog that frequents the San Francisco Bay Area, are dramatic and ever changing.

Sutro follows the footpath of love, winding through its hills and valleys. The reader may put Sutro down as the sun’s last rays cross their table, only to pick it up again at midnight as the moon shines through their windowpane.
