Tucson Santa Claus Prepares for Another Year of Toy Repairs
Edward Rausch, a pensioner living at 2812 N Dodge Blvd Tucson, fixes and distributes toys for needy children year round. Last Christmas 800 toys passed through his hands and he supports 95 children on his own list. He relies on schools, organizations, and a Ram's Market collection box for donations and spends about 400 dollars of his pension on toys and candy. Rausch began his Santa work 20 years ago in Joliet Illinois and moved to Tucson in 1952 due to arthritis. He fears eyesight decline may end his work but continues with a fresh batch of 100 toys needing repair before year’s end.
