Why do people take photographs and write journals? Maybe we do it only for ourselves and our families, to re-live our experiences, to see our pasts again. Or maybe we do it to document our lives, hoping that some future generation will see and hear us.
I don't have a clue why Will and Eva Rauch left so much stuff for me to find. Certainly they never figured that a snoopy great-grand-niece by marriage-- born long after both were cold in their graves-- would stumble on their personal papers. I'm fascinated by their lives in Los Angeles from 1900 to 1940, and hope you will be, too.
