That would be awesome Rhett. I am sure Kathleen would appreciate it very much.

Here is a letter she sent yesterday with a bit more info-

Hi again, Leon.

No luck, I guess, with the card, but I wanted to get back to you about the Candy Co. It was before my dad's time, so he didn't really have too much to share. He said his grandfather and grandmother started out making chocolates in their kitchen for some time before turning it into a full-blown business in downtown Sacramento. The candies evidently had a good reputation. They ran the distributorship for several years, until after the end of Prohibition. At that time, the Keating Candy Co. became a liquor distributorship. Go figure...probably more money in booze than in chocolates right around then. Unfortunately, that's about all I have for you. Take care!

Kathleen
