We’re honored to have won a Peabody Award along with StoryCorps, POV, the 9/11 Memorial and Musuem, and NPR’s Morning Edition, for our work commemorating the 10th anniversary of the September 11th attacks. Many thanks to the courageous families that so generously shared their stories with us. We must always remember the people who lost their lives that day.

Our newest StoryCorps short is a romance story from the internet era, just in time for Valentine’s Day! Watch it and share it with your loved ones and friends.

More and more people are meeting online these days. If you have a story about finding true love via the web, we would love to hear it in the comments.

Above, background paintings by Bill Wray from “To R.P. Salazar, with Love”. Besides this cartoon, Rachel and Ruben Salazar’s story is featured along with several others in StoryCorps’ new book, All There Is. Full of amazing love stories, the book makes a perfect Valentine’s Day gift.

Our newest StoryCorps short, “To R.P. Salazar, with Love”, tells the real-life love story of Rachel and Ruben Salazar.  They lived 9,000 miles apart—Ruben in Waco, TX and Rachel in Bangkok, Thailand—but were brought together when an email meant for Rachel was sent to Ruben by mistake.

Pictured above, Rachel and Ruben working in their Waco, TX garden and two of the computers where Rachel and Ruben’s early relationship blossomed.

Come back for more inside looks at “To R.P. Salazar, with Love” this week!
