History can pop up at any moment. If it does for you, embrace it. You might just find it fascinating and you might just find your relatives may be part of it.
If you read this blog, many of you have met my Aunt Sam. She is a die-hard Dodgers fan from when they were in NY to their move to LA. I've shared some of her stories on my blog, but recently I was moved to tears because even though her body may be failing her, her mind is not.
This past Friday my sister, Kim, presented her with an old menu from the place she was a waitress at in LA. OMG! You should have seen her eyes light up when she saw the menu.

We figure this is somewhere between 1958-1961. There is another signature above that looks like "Finn Wyral" - we haven't been able to determine who this is. Scoured the LA Dodgers rosters and no luck. If any of you who read this come up with a name, please share in the comments.
Aunt Sam says there is an older menu, but we haven't been able to find it. Anyway, check out these prices!
Lessons Learned:
1. Listen to your elders. They have fascinating stories of their lives to tell. Sometimes this is the only thing they cling to in their last years.
2. Part 2 coming soon.
Hoping you have fantastic stories of history from your family,

This is an awesome story! Your Aunt must have a million of them!
She really does. Talk to her about her Dodgers and she'll tell you everything you want to know.
I told her one day I visited that Sandi Kofax was not on the roster. She said, " You better check that again, because I know he was on it. "
She was RIGHT!
Yes, she was.
