As an aside, I was going to give my parents an MP3 recorder, and ask them to periodically "talk" to it based on questions I would present to them. Questions such as, "tell me about your first date" or "what did your parents (my mom's parents) think about dad when they first met him," etc. We've already done a couple, and it has been fun hearing all sorts of details I previously knew nothing about. Audio/video recordings (much like handwriting) really gives historical accounts so much more color and texture.Dan Hiestand -- Houstory Publishinghttp://www.homehistorybook.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691016683378293851.post-59580544411615893802012-03-23T09:34:22.874-04:002012-03-23T09:34:22.874-04:00What a great recording - to hear your ancestors te...What a great recording - to hear your ancestors tell their own story is a lot more colourful than reading about it.
