WHY NOW

Have you been thinking about recording your life stories, or the stories of a loved one? Are you the keeper of the family “stuff” but don’t know what to do with everything? Do you have an aging parent or grandparent who is always telling stories and you wish you had a way to preserve them? Are you looking for a creative way to celebrate a marriage or the birth of a new baby? Have you recently lost a loved one and want to honor them through preserving their memory? Have you started working on your own personal history project and hit a roadblock?

“I think it is important to know where you come from. This book has been created to share my life experiences and those of our ancestors with my children and grandchildren. Once all the older generations are gone, I want future generations to have a place to go to learn about our family. This book is the answer to that. I hope it awakens their curiosity about the past and encourages them as they build their own lives.” – Marjorie Saltzman
