Video recording my mom and dad using the new App

Posted On: 20 December, 2014

I will see my mom and dad over the Christmas holiday, and I've got to get some more video of these amazing parents.

I love being with them and just observing their mannerisms, and it is so great to hear them tell a story.

Life Stories & Connecting with Your Family is a Great New Year's Resolution

Of course, I am going to say it. As the founder of LifeBio, I am going to suggest that your New Year's Resolution be that you finally get around to helping that special loved one tell his or her life story.

Tell grandpa's life story and create grandpa's book

Posted On: 15 December, 2014

I wish I had had the chance to record my grandfather's life story. I can remember just a few things about him now---just a moment here and there. I remember him taking me to a garden center in his big car (that resembles an Edsel in my memory).

We had an exciting day at school telling all our friends about our new little brother.

Veterans History Told to Grandchildren Matters

It was amazing to see my son, David, sitting with his grandpa recently and listening closely as my father recounted his experiences during the Vietnam War. Dad served in the 4th Infantry Division as a truck driver in 1967 and part of 1968. He shared about his tent being shot full of holes near Dak To in Kon Tum Province in late 1967, spending hours in a small bunker with 20 other guys, leading a convoy of trucks away from the fighting, blowing up his truck when he and his friend, John, hit a landmine, and enjoying Bob Hope's visit on a hillside one day. There were some funny experiences and some very scary times shared.

Write My Autobiography

Posted On: 10 December, 2014

You may be asking? How can I write my autobiography. In fact, it can be a matter of just answering a few questions--but it helps if you aren't staring at a blank sheet of paper. Sometimes, even if you're planning a whole book, it may be just good to start simple with the basics of your life history. Maybe you're just interested in sharing your life story with your children and grandchildren.

Memory book for my grandma

Posted On: 01 December, 2014

There is nothing more priceless than the gift of life stories. I know that my own grandmother's life story really changed my life. I thought, "I'm just like you, and you are just like me!" But I would never have had that experience if grandma's life story was not recorded.
