Watch the Newest StoryCorps Short: “To R.P. Salazar, with Love”

Just in time to get all the lovebirds out there ready for Valentine’s Day, StoryCorps has released their newest animated short, To R.P. Salazar, with Love – a love story that starts with a simple typo.

In January 2007, Rachel P. Salazar and Ruben P. Salazar were living 9,000 miles apart and completely unaware of each other’s existence. But when an email meant for Rachel accidentally went to Ruben, it wasn’t long before an ordinary mistake began to look like an extraordinary stroke of luck.

The Salazars’ story will also be featured in the new StoryCorps book to be released February 2, 2012, All There Is: Love Stories from StoryCorps.
