What Elders Have to Say : Expressions of Wisdom

"I want to record my stories so my family will have them for years to come. I have always wished that my parents had recorded their stories. Oh, they had wonderful stories. They have become faded over the years. I have had an interesting and wonderful life, and I want to share those memories with my family."
A. T. (89 years)

"One of my treasured possessions as an older person is an audiotape that we recorded of a Christmas with my mom, dad, and brother 35 years ago. Hearing their voices is still a moving and impactful experience for me. Ms. Ferguson’s unique process of interviewing me and producing a lovely book and CD of that interview is a gift that I want available for my great grandson, Ramey who is one years old, and any other members of my family who might be interested in how I saw my life. Telling our stories to a sensitive professional "listener" like Lucy clarifies what we value and who we are. "Thanks Lucy!"
C. R. (75 years)

"My family gave me this memoir writing service for my 80th birthday. I think it's one of the nicest gifts I have ever received - knowing that my children and grandchildren want to hear my stories."
J. S. (80 years)

"I've decided to record a few of my stories because I think it’s nice to leave some little sign that you were here, I think as time goes on, the kids and grandkids will like to read it."
R. W. (87 years)

" It is with pleasure and gratitude that I thank Lucy for her guidance and special listening skills in recording my life stories as a legacy for my children and their children, so that they might have a peek into my life. It has been a special and unique experience. Lucy is most accommodating and truly a professional."
R. T. (84 years)
