The Time of My Life: Writing Your Life Stories

2-3:30 pm
St Louis Park Library 3240 Library Lane, Minneapolis • 952-847-6125
JHSUM members attend free; non-member cost is $5.

The book contains a number of sample life stories originally published in Buchheim's monthly newsletter. Each story and list of trigger questions and topics helps elicit memories of events not thought of in years. The reflective questions and practical tips help guide the writer from conception to writing and printing. “This book is perfect for baby boomers who want to work with their parents and other relatives to preserve and record memories before it’s too late.” says Buchheim. “Life stories and personal histories are unselfish gifts to the next generation. They pay forward by looking back.” Participants should bring a notebook and pen or laptop. The presentation will include time for writing and questions. Copies of Remembering: Life Story Triggers and Memory Essays will be available for purchase for $20, with $5 from every purchase going to the JHSUM.
