These classes have been designed for seniors from all walks of life and are meant to highlight the unique contributions of each participant. As members of a group with similar historical experiences, each individual will bring a very personal voice to the universal themes they all witnessed.

Students are supported in their memoir writing through a combination of guidance, monthly writing prompts, and time for shared reading and writing.

“We moved a lot when I was a kid. I never asked and now I’ll never understand a lot about those early years.”

“I always thought writing one's memoir was an activity of the ego.  Now I realize the value of my own history.”  Jean W.

“When I listened to my father's interviews, I heard him talk about things I’d been asking about for years.”
