Dec 2020

temporarily with a friend who lived in neighboring Berkeley, so he could use his friend's address to attend Berkeley High School, which had Music Harmony and Music Theory classes, which were not available at the high school Lesh was attending.

To help their son out, Phil's parents sold their Kensington, CA home, which they'd lived in for 15 years, and bought a smaller house in Berkeley, so that Lesh could finish high school at Berkeley High.
