Larry Yamamoto attended Otis Art School, then came to San Francisco. He married Judith in 1953, and started longshoring on the S.F. waterfront and raising a family. When Ruth was born, he and Judith bought a piece of land in Muir Beach and, assisted by a neighbor, artist/carpenter Gordon Mosteller, Larry designed and, with Gordon, built their home. Larry and Judith lived in Muir Beach for 45 years, with chickens, dogs, a sheep, and a vegetable garden as Larry commuted to the S.F. waterfront to work, and made art (mainly watercolor paintings)
