Here is an example of a title page for one story that I wrote after tape recording the person's memories. I wrote it up in 7 chapters which conveyed the stages of her life. When that was finished I inserted family pictures to fit the story, did a family tree and left the family with a personal account of their mother's life.

Enough copies were made for each of her children and a few close friends to receive as a gift.

A GIFT: I can do the same for you or, if you wish, for your parents on a special occasion. Choose a gift for them to treasure.

TIME: To make a lasting treasure of your life story, you need to put aside just two times to meet with me. I come to your own home to plan the recording first and ask some useful questions that will guide us. On the second visit, I record your memories for your family. This takes about two hours. At this point you can decide if you would like the story written up as a small book. Alternatively you can choose just to have copies of your taped memories made for your family. The choice is yours.

COST: I charge $25.00 an hour for the planning and recording sessions and $20.00 an hour to write up the whole book. It is then printed with your own pictures.

A LASTING GIFT! It makes a great Christmas gift for the whole family. I can also do some extra work researching your family tree if you wish. Think about this great way to preserve your memories and give your family a real treasure and knowledge of their heritage which only you can offer.

I look forward to meeting you and serving your interests.
