Family Letters, Tahoe History...
I was really anticipating this presentation by Mary Jo Sonntag of her book, Write, If You Live to Get There Tracing Westward Expansion Through 120 Years of Family Letters. Mary Jo told the story of the Phillips family’s westward migration from Vermont to northern California. Her mother was given a box of family memorabilia which painted a rich and detailed portrait of American life in the 19th and early 20th centuries.

Her family established prominent resorts in the Lake Tahoe region at Phillips Station, Rubicon Springs and Meeks Bay over 100 years ago. She shared historic memories through letters and photos. What an incredibly rich and interesting presentation. Everyone was thoroughly impressed. I can't wait to read the history of the people who started Tahoe's legendary hospitality.
