ARE YOU INTERESTED IN DOCUMENTING YOUR STORY ?
If you’ve had an interesting life, you have a story worth telling and recording for posterity. How often have you chatted to older people, listened to their amazing stories and thought, “If only this could be written down and recorded for posterity.”
I am offering to assist you in recollecting the past by interviewing you, your family and friends, staff and colleagues, doing the relevant background research and examining documents and old photographs. In compiling this, we will create a well documented, personal memoir which will become an authentic record of interesting facts, significant journeys and key life events. Besides making a wonderful gift, this book will become a
fascinating read as well as an historic family legacy for future generations.
When the world used to change in slow-motion, memoirs didn’t play the role they must today. Children identified with the world in which their parents lived, and for the most part, it was the same world.
Today, the world is evolving at an increasingly rapid pace. Children are educating their parents, teaching them how to manoeuvre in the computer driven era we live in. Although our parents can’t beat us in computer games, they can teach us how to be human. They are
the link in the chain of our traditions and roots.
Tell us about the home you grew up in, relate the stories your parents reminisced about their upbringing. Tell us about the trams you took to school and the ingenious antics of Uncle Sammy, the hardships your granny endured in Europe of old. Tell us of a time when people spoke to one another, and shared their feelings. Take us into your bygone world for it is the glue that cements the link of generations.
Don’t let your life die in the recesses of your mind – keep it alive by transcribing it for
your offspring. They will be forever grateful. Your written memoirs will create a link from
generation to generation. Understand the power of the story, the human factor in the iron
chain of tradition. Tell your story – your children will thank you....... and know you.
