My Introduction to Swell

article image placeholderUploaded by @Tamiek
I wondered if their experiences were more normal than mine. Had they dealt with instability of frequent moves, school changes, familial addiction such as alcoholism, conflicts, and divorce too? Around 2010, I found myself in a small writing group at a local public library where mostly elderly people shared their stories about growing up during the depression and World War II. And there I was, a generation xer decades apart, curious about their lives, too

Tammy, you are a beautiful soul. I have the same idea and ambition that you're talking about. I've had this idea for a while that starting some kind of program, some kind of service, if you have a relative in your life that you want to document their life story, have a professional crew, me, just as a camera operator, experienced camera operator, interviewer, somebody, or you just prepare questions, whatever, but sit down

Thank you for listening, Rooster. It's nice to meet you. I have in my collection at least a dozen of those fill in the blank doityourself memoir books. I'm trying to get ideas to make one not only for people with traditional questions about upbringing, but I want to add my own questions geared toward folks who didn't have a normal upbringing
