Renate and Ray Casser at home in The Rodeo Grounds

Renate and Ray Casser at home in The Rodeo Grounds

Renate (1939-2022) and Ray Casser (b. 1934) were both from Westphalia, Germany. Ray, a gardener, moved to Topanga Canyon Lane in Lower Topanga in 1960. Renate, a nanny, married him a short time after. They moved to higher ground in The Rodeo Grounds after the 1969 flood. Above their door is a sign that says, "Rancho Rodeo," which they found on a previous resident's house.
