Much better that you manipulate your mother than those mil's out there that try to manipulate their sons and dil's. Sorry, but my newly married daughter has the kind you always hear about :no: I too hated history in school when it was memorizing dates and wars – you think they could make it more enjoyable.

I wish more people would take the time to write their own memories for future generations. Lately I've been digging around a little to find out about the area where we live. We've only lived here for 4 years, so we are newcomers. There are a few people who have taken time to write about the history, but unfortunately none that I have found have written about it as well or with as much personal feeling as your dad. History is so much more than a list of people, places, and dates. Stories like your dad's are what make it come to life and give it meaning for those who didn't live it.

We aren't them, we were tied in with them. (Exciting!) I'll have to dig out my copy and do something with it, you've encouraged me AGAIN!!! Suzanne's MOM...please, we would love to read part two, it would be so wonderful of you, if you could help Suzanne out! Thank you! How great!

Please help Suzanne!!!) I hope you get the "rest of the story". Princess has already performed a great part in the story with her interview. Next, an interview with Georgia? My family treasures an autobiography my mother wrote in her 80s about her Pennsylvania farm life. She wrote it for a creative writing class, my sister and I typed it, and a niece added old photos and had it printed in a small booklet. She had copies of it for dozens of us at Mom's 85th birthday party. I hope you can gather all your stories into something like that! :purpleflower: Your history is fascinating, Suzanne, and – (MOM!!!

I started genealogy several years ago, but after my parents and grandparents had passed on. I have names and dates, but no stories like you do. I hope your siblings and children realise what a wonderful gift your father left them with his work. Thanks for sharing.
