A few days ago I had the privilege of interviewing a gentleman for the non-profit Veterans History Project.
The project enlists the help of volunteers like me to interview veterans who saw service in any of America's wars of the previous century. The end product is an audio CD that I sent to the Library of Congress. As a courtesy, I also sent a copy to the gentleman.
What a fantastic experience! This gentleman told me his tale of service as an Army Air Force B-24 tail gunner during World War II. I learned a lot about that period of history and I was overwhelmed by the dignity and selflessness of the man.
The experience was humbling but it rekindled my fervor for Priceless Legacy and what we are accomplishing on a daily basis.
I highly recommend the program to anyone with time and the heart to do a few interviews. You will relish the opportunity.

Your-Life-Your-Story
We had a nice write up at the Your Life Your Story website of respected life story expert Tom Gilbert.
Tom is a guy who "gets it" when it comes to life story capture and the mission that we both feel passionately about . . .

Life Worth More than Tires?
I had to buy new tires for my car today. Who would have thought that original factory tires would only last about 33,000 miles? I must confess the cost of $1,370 was a bit of a shock . . .
It got me thinking that in another few years and another 30,000 miles, I will need yet another set of tires and it will no doubt cost me even more.
For less money using the Priceless Legacy process, one can capture the essence and key stories of a loved one's life with a Priceless Legacy LifeStory package.
Consumable tires or eternal stories . . . I know where I would rather spend my money!

Ben Franklin on LifeStories
A old Marine Corps buddy of mine who, very appropriately, is from Philadelphia sent me this quotation from Benjamin Franklin. It is another perfect encapsulation of the Priceless Legacy mission:
"The next thing most like living one's life over again seems to be a recollection of that life, and to make that recollection as durable as possible by putting it down in writing."
