Who ARE YOU?

Don't let your memory disappear when you're gone. Please tell future generations who you are. Please take a moment to word process a SHORT story of your life and e-mail it to Nancy or bring it to the reunion. Fill in your full name, birth date and place, marriage date and place. The names of your parents, children, grandchildren along with their birthdates and place, marriage dates and place, death dates and place. Tell us about your commitments ie: Military service, missionary or church service, charity work, Pro Bono professional help. Tell your descendents about where you've lived, what kind of education you've had, either formal or self taught. What you do in your spare time, what accomplishments you're proud of. What your joys and sufferings have been. Inform them of the types of work and professions you've been envolved with. Tell of what made you proud in your work accomplishments. Tell about what you admired and were happy about with your parents. Tell about the characteristics of your shildren. Talk about your spiritual beliefs. If you have a tombstone, what do you want it to say? Tell about your spouse and why you fell in love with and married them. Please e-mail me the pictures of you and them (or bring them to the reunion and I will scan them at Mom's house and return them to you on Sunday morning.) I would like to have pictures of you when you were a baby, a 6-10 year old child, young adult and currently. It would be nice to have pictures of you posing with your artwork, motorcycle, favorite car, horse, dog, cat,house, garden, family, church, friends or whatever you REALLY liked in your life. Remember that this will be published on the world wide family tree. Future generations will be seeking out who there families were and will want to know EVERYTHING, the good AND the bad. This is your opportunity to influence future generations by explaining disappointments and consequences along with the joys of success and overcoming difficulties. They will find out the bare bones about your life anyway. It will be so enriching for them to get "the REST of the STORY"! Have fun authoring YOUR story.
