Now that I'm curious and full of questions my dear aunt at 92 years old is no longer willing to talk. What a shame if we lose the opportunity to learn from her , our last remaining elder , about our close family members . My advice to all family history researchers is to listen and ask before it's too late . When my aunt wanted to talk about our family history I wasn’t ready to listen .

I was raised up with primarily older people. Today, I am entering into that age group. I was always fascinated my their wisdom and ability to accept what is. My only desire is to share my stories and hope that others will listen. Learning through life experience is the best teacher that I have ever had. Thank you for what you do and who you are.
