Rinell Family Audio Recordings include audio letters, interviews, speeches and gatherings of friends and family. We have our ear at a crack in the door, stand outside an open window, sit unseen in the corner of a room or quietly in a church's pew listening to voices who spoke, sang and laughed decades ago.We are part of their intimate circle.
