One of his stories related how he and his
brothers often walked seven miles to the ocean to fish and swim when they
were children. When I recall this story, it paints a picture of him in my
mind. We all have stories like these to tell and pass on to our loved ones.
With the world changing at such a rapid pace today, our experiences take on
an air of magic and history to our grandchildren and descendants. This is the inspiration behind “Older
Men’s Legacies,” a six-week memoir writing workshop for senior
men. The workshop stirs the memories that make great stories and helps the
participants get them down on paper. At the end of the workshop, everyone
receives a printed booklet containing the stories. The next workshop begins April 4th and meets
every Wednesday through May 11th from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. For more information,
please phone 847-376-2809. To register, phone the Registration Desk at
847-376-2787. Register online at www.dppl.org.
