Robert: As I recall, Clausen Elementary School was only one block away, in the triangle park area, at 34th and Haven Streets. My grandparents lived on Haven Street. The parish was across the park from the school and on the corner of Haven and 34th, was a favorite local bar (Or was the bar on 34th and Hollis?). Next to it, if I remember correctly, was an undertaker's establishment! I left that area in 1950, when my grandmother moved to North Oakland.
