Saving Stories - How to Capture and Pass Along Family Stories

Did you know we have a Winchester resident who escaped with her family from Prague in 1948? Her story has a surprising twist which will be revealed in this program.

Do you have stories about earlier generations that will get lost if you don’t preserve them? The creation of a memoir will be the best gift you could give your children and grandchildren. It will also provide you an opportunity to reflect on your life, perhaps to see patterns or significance you haven’t fully perceived before.
