Rey Ruppel was a Monterey legend. A local commercial photographer between 1935 and 1960s, he left a humongous body of work – photos that beautifully document Monterey County. They capture high school games and other festivities, the happiness of the years and people that passed. Monterey Public Library acquired 10,000 photos by Ruppel in 2011, after his death. The collection is mostly digital. Visit the information desk inside the library and ask about Ruppel and the California History Room. Guests must fill out a short form and provide a current and valid identification card. For assistance or research inquiries, email libchr@monterey.org. [AP]
