1942 entry: I checked Google Earth for the address. 508C S. Thornburg Street is still there in Santa Maria. It is a six bungalow court of three bungalows facing the other three bungalows. The court runs perpendicular to the street. It must have been two bedrooms if they felt that they could keep Marie at home with them. I wonder where she was living while they were out of town?
