For many of us, our loved ones and their stories die before we are ready. Perhaps you are a caregiver wanting to document the interesting tales you are told while you work. 

This is your opportunity to gather these precious stories and glimpse into history before it is too late. Imagine sitting at the kitchen table talking with your dad or beloved auntie. 

What anecdotes will they share about their lives and the sagas of your ancestors?

We all have a lifetime of stories in our memory banks. We have had life lessons that our children and their children will want and need to know. Some of the stories will just provide entertainment or enlightenment. But they will all bridge the gap between generations.

Share these stories with your family, friends and anyone else who will listen;
