And she's recorded about as much about herself and her family as she wants to share. She published a genealogy of her maiden name and is finalizing the second edition.

I should get hubby to interview her for stories about his Dad who they lost in 1972. That is the only way he will have to get information about the kind of person his Dad was as a young man. But I lent out my video camera so we'd have no good way to record it.

Maybe we'll do that this spring.
