MAKE SURE YOU
READ YOUR
OWN AUTOBIOGRAPHY -
WRITTEN OR MEMORIZED!


Quote of the Day - June 14, 2010


"Every man's memory is his private literature."


Ardous Huxley [1894-1963]


At Tom Dabney's wake a few weeks back, one of his sons said, "I once heard someone say that when someone dies, a while library burns down." There is a lesson here - somewhere. Write your memoirs and make several copies - one in a fire proof safe? Sit on a porch in a good chair, close your eyes and read your own stories? Talk to each other?

Thanks Andrew,
I've always believed that we should/could be responsible for passing on our "stories." We could also do a better job of listening to our elders when they are telling their stories.
All good thoughts,
