Lydette Maduro brought Carlos Castaneda along while delivering dresses to Margaret Runyan's apartment, marking their first meeting.
Adjudication: The first-meeting date (Dec 1955) is the more specific, corroborated anchor event; the book-gift is explicitly described as occurring "shortly after" that meeting, so both are consistent parts of one sequence rather than rival dates for the same event.
Place: 5301 W. 8th Street, Los Angeles
