'75-'78 (after returning from living in ... Las Vegas, for a few years, a new wife in tow) my dad lived about 1 mi NE of Fenton's Creamery on Piedmont Ave, just off Pleasant Valley Road, not far from where College Ave hits Broadway in North Oakland.

Lotta good memories of that time, going to visit Pops on custody weekends.

I grew up with Mom though living on the other side of the Caldecott Tunnel. Pleasant Hill, Martinez, and Orinda. High School in the 80's was in Walnut Creek, which is where mom and stepdad still live.
