Really nicely done. Then again, I love any good story about vaudeville. One of my prized possessions is Gilbert's "American Vaudeville: Its Life and Times"--a 1940 book I picked up at a library sale. A great catalogue-like book written pretty soon after Vaudeville's demixe. Alas, no mention of the Richards Bros. I vote for more posts in this vein. Really nicely done.

Your story got me to dig out my box of my dad's old letters home from the army during WW II. Thanks, Melissa.

Brilliant - reminds me of leafing through the scraps that remain of my grandfather, a WWI fighter pilot and minor politician (Democrat for Al Smith and FDR in the 20s and 30s) who died 14 years before I arrived. Yet, he's so clearly a part of who I am. Just lovely. In fact, you get a new tag created just for this kind of post - Memoirs. I echo Claire’s sentiment entirely.
