I just love listening to my dad tell stories of the past. The experiences he had and the events that shaped 
his life is just so interesting to me. Being the gregarious individual that he is, it seems that just about EVERYONE is enamored by his stories. As an aging senior, 80 years to be exact- I often think to myself, how much longer will he be around to tell his wonderful Tales of Yore! Sitting around the dinner table last night for Father’s Day, dad was telling other family members how he ended up in veterinary school all the way down in Georgia; given the fact he was a Massachusetts guy. After my almost 50 years of being his daughter- I never heard this story! I can only imagine the ones I still haven’t heard.
As a daughter of an aging senior, my thoughts keep going back to why not videotape these great stories? Someday, my parents will not be around to tell them, so why not document them while they are alive and still have their memories intact? What a wonderful legacy for our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. My uncle did this with my grandparents, who of course, have passed on, but it was a great way for us to all look a back,reminisce, see their faces and hear their voices.
So as this daughter of aging seniors- I am going to make it my business to get the key stories recorded on video. Anyone care to join me?
