Since Harry passed on in November, I have lost six friends and been asked to speak at three memorials. I have found my writing has made it easier for me to cope with all this . I am looking forward to returning to your Wednesday class and hopefully pulling my memories together into a book for our family.

I like how you add a Kipling quote and show us a photo of you with the speaker, Colletta. Keep traveling, Dawn, but keep coming back to Southern California! See you and classmates when your class begins again in only a few weeks.

I love the community and pool of information available to aspiring life writers in this internet age. I started my research into life story from the point of view of memoir, and then, through an evolution came to the discussion of life stories about others, as well. I gave a workshop this year at the Association of Personal Historians conference near my home town of Philadelphia, and am offering it in expanded form as a tele-workshop through APH this spring. I see you have written a book on the subject. Perhaps we could swap reviews, or in other ways synergize our shared interest in the fascinating translation of life into story. Best wishes, Jerry Waxler <a href="http://www.memorywritersnetwork.com/blog" rel="nofollow"> Memory Writers Network </a> Hi Dawn,
