In the 90s, every year during my school's spring break I would go to my dad's office in downtown San Francisco. I was too young to be alone all day.
There is a fountain that survivors of the 1906 earthquake would meet at on the anniversary of the event. Because my spring break cooncided with the date, I got to see the survivors gathered as my dad and I walked to his office.
Of course there were already very few survivors left by then. I think I would have seen it around 1994 through 1998 when I was old enough to stay home on my own. Even in those few years, I could see the number of survivors shrinking.

My great grandmother, who lived to be 109, lived through the quake and was in fairly good health up until the late 80's or early 90's. I'm curious if she ever went to any of those meetings.
