Rose Marie’s Father Lorenz Carlsen Sells 10 Acres in Bolinas and Moves to Modesto

Rose Marie Miller Interview.
Rose Marie recalls their moving in sometime in the early 60's -- 61 or 62 -- while in Stockton and before moving to Burlingame and then Philly.

Her dad had a stroke and diabetes. He could no longer take care of his wife and daughter and care for the farm. The coastal road was winding and it was hard to get to them.

So he sold the house [in Bolinas] and moved to [Modesto] closer to family so he could have some help.

Location: From Bolinas to Modesto.
