Ok, here's what I found. Nothing after 1986 for Vicki herself. Unfortunately when she got married her named changed to something common. Plus, Vicki (Victoria) is her middle name so official records may be under various other combinations of her real first name and her used name.

But I have three addresses and one phone number for siblings which seem to be current (but may not actually be; for example, one source says Bob Welch still lives at 507 Evergreen but another suggests he died in 2008).

Vicky Gutekunst
Birth Name: Julia Victoria Gutekunst
Birthday: 1/31/1947
Married on 10/1/1966 to Robert D. Paul and took his last name.

Lived in Salinas, CA, at the time of her sister's death in 1968.
Still lived in Salinas, CA, at the time of her father's death in 1986.

Graduated Pacific Grove High School, class of 1964.

No information on current situation or living situation. SSN Death Index does not have her listed however. Unfortunately she changed her last name to something common and doesn't go by her real first name so it is hard to narrow the search since you have to do both Julia and Vicki.

Brother #1 (and only)
John William Lyle Gutekunst
Born: 10/25/1943
Lived in Salinas as of 1986

Married Katrina V. Jensen 10/29/1967, divorced 3/20/1978.

The Address
Assumes that the house that John W. and Mary E. Gutekunst lived in as of 1978 was the same one they lived in when Vicki was writing in book.

After John died in 1986 he was removed from the deed (3/28/1986). On 9/11/1989, shortly before their mother, Mary, died, a filing was made giving daughter Jan Ellis power of attorney over the property and at that time the house was sold to Robert Franklin and Ruth A. Welch (mortgage provided by BofA). Reverse look up finds says current resident is "Bob" Welch so may be same person as Robert Welch. Next door at 509 Evergreen are Geoff and Joy Welch, almost certainly related. It's possible that these people would still know something about the people who owned the house before them.
