Why this page and opportunity?  This is a great location to help share and pass on memories and knowledge related to Glen Elder, its people, places, things and surrounding area.  Putting these recollections on paper, or in this case sharing via the internet, provides a means of permanently storing memories that otherwise might not be passed on to future generations.  Placing these types of stories on the Glen Elder website is also unique for a community website.  Doing so presents an authentic inside look at Americana rural life for whoever visits the site and provides them with a more vivid picture of the community and those he created it.

Though many might believe their memoir isn't important, to others it probably is very special--especially family, friends and neighbors.  Once someone decides to write and share their personal story, chances are they will discover how good and memorable it really is.   Plus, it can be a fun.

For those with older parents, family and acquaintances, this is a good opportunity to encourage them to sit down and have them share their story.  Perhaps you can help them permmantly retain that experience by writing or typing it for them.

Having troubles getting started with your memoir? --try writing your recollection as if you might write a letter or speaking to a family member or friend. 

Sincerely .... Greg German (website developer)
