California to Brussels


Mr and Mrs Handels
My father and later my father and mother lived in a handful of locations whilst living in California.  These are the approximate dates and addresses:

March - May 1957
319 So. Mariposa Avenue, Los Angeles District 4

Is this the same building?

May - October 1957
301 So. Kenmore Avenue, Apartment 318, Los Angeles District 5 (Paul with German friend)

Not the best neighborhood anymore

October 1957 - April 1960
3211 1/2 West 9th Street, Los Angeles District 6 (Paul with two Dutch guys)



3211 1/2 West 9th Street

April 1960 - August 1962
868 South Ardmore Avenue, Los Angeles District 5 (with Leena)

November 1961, 868 South Ardmore Avenue
The pretty wooden house is long gone and replaced with condos

August 1962 - January 1963
10811 Strathmore Drive (UCLA married student units, with Leena)


January 1963 - January 1965
10855 Strathmore Drive, Apt. 1 (UCLA married student units, with Leena)


January 1965 - July 1966
1815 South Beverly Glen Blvd, Los Angeles Disctrict 25 (with Leena)

At their place on South Beverly Glen Blvd
Corner with Santa Monica Blvd.  A block has replaced the original

July 1966 - November 1968

4012 Davana Road, Sherman Oaks (with Leena, Lisa and Ria)

The first real family house on Davana Rd.

1968-197

Avenue des Touristes, Rhode St Genese


Avenue des Touristes, Rhode St Genese.  The family lived here when I was born in 1971

I would have loved to add a caption to each of these pictures but the sheer amount of snapshots in the family album is huge and would have been impossible to house under one page.  The YouTube solution seemed the best one.  The black and white pictures are mostly all from 1961 and from 1964 whereas the color ones are randomly ordered from the 60s, 70s and even 80s, with the odd shot from later.
