I keep saying I am going to but I really need to do it. One story I want her to tell while I record is the one where in about 1956 they were coming over in an old war ship from Germany how she was saved from going overboard (at age 12) in a storm. She was more worried about getting in trouble then in the fact that she was almost washed away. She is also the one that knows stories from my fathers grandmother.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09083865176596000975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691016683378293851.post-73793933431281166742012-05-30T18:10:47.460-04:002012-05-30T18:10:47.460-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09083865176596000975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691016683378293851.post-33834097919370430542012-05-29T23:19:57.229-04:002012-05-29T23:19:57.229-04:00I concur with the local event... in my hometown, C...I concur with the local event... in my hometown, Coon Rapid, Iowa, we had a big snowstorm over the 1961 year-end holidays... I mentioned it on a Facebook hometown group, and got all kinds of great comments... more than most topics on the group in a couple of years... Special trigger of recall is what we seek. Continued best wishes on your project, Marian! ;-)Dr. Bill (William L.)

Buying their first car. Their one week family getaway. Fay spoke for some time on walking 3 km each way with the two children in the pram to go shopping then as the children got older they pulled the go-cart with the shopping and how it was a time for talking and singing.Helen V Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16418865928294578567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691016683378293851.post-28275139485631375232012-05-29T19:41:37.057-04:002012-05-29T19:41:37.057-04:00Well said!

When I 'interviewed' my parents, topics that were a big success included (1) personal experiences during the Great Depression, and (2) changes in domestic technology (cooking, laundry, lighting, refrigeration etc.)Judy Websterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09730547717403140047noreply@blogger.com
