So far I have five (not counting the sanatarium in the end). I believe San Marcos was their last residence, and that was in the '40s. That's where Milt Larsen remembers visiting her.

As I'm a hobbyist and my boys were just getting into magic, thought it would be fun. Imagine our absolute delight to be taken into the intimate theater and be entertained by Dorothy and Dick with a charming and polished professional show! It is a fond memory of our entire family.
