This is now the Maryknoll Residence at Los Altos, California. It is an hour drive from the city of San Frncisco. I lived here in the early 1960's after the Japanese Los Angeles Parish.
This was a junior seminary for young men who were interested in Maryknoll missionary priesthood. They came here after elementary school.
It is here that I met Rod Odgers and also Judy Churchill. They were both interested in Maryknoll Missionary life.
Rod had just come out of the Navy ane was living in San Bruno, a short distance from San Francisco. He changed his mind and didn't go into Maryknoll. He met a good friend Max Wilson and bought a home in the famous Heigh Ashbury area of San Francisco. Famous for the Flower children and the song about San Francisco.
We have continued to be friends for many years and also have enjoyed his hospitality through the years. My parents also stayed at their home many years ago.
I have no idea what has happened to Judy Churchill. The last time I saw her was at Maryknoll, New york.
The picture of the former junior seminary is now a residence for Maryknoll Missioners who are retired. The photo was taken a year ago. July 2009.
