Share your story

Dear Editor,

Now, when we are stuck at home, is the time—the perfect time—to reflect and think about your and your family’s history. There are valuable stories and pictures just waiting for you. You think there is not anything interesting to tell? You’re wrong.

We find that our grandchildren are fascinated with our stories when we visit together but we should all write, record and preserve these stories. Fancy writing is not necessary. Just honesty and feeling.

Childhood, parents, youth, memorable moments. Play, education, activities, jovial and tragic times. Holidays, food, travel, adventure, your first car. What you observed and thought. The list is endless.

Reach out to your family. Talk on the phone. Copy, share, organize.

Now is the time.

Signed,

Elva Evans
