I love you mom and will miss you terribly, but I will remember you and your stories of the "Roaring 20s" and the "Dirty 30s", and may share them soon so your memories are not forgotten.

So sorry, Cali. My mother was born in 1920 as well and died in 2000. She moved here as a small child and grew up across the street from Echo Park. One of my most cherished possessions is a letter she wrote to her travelling salesman dad about riding out the 1932 earthquake. Its great your mom had a chance to share her stories with you. We can honor them by sharing their stories with others. Take care.
