It’s been a fun week. Betsy H. emailed the photo above and asked us to mail it in the VoiceQuilt photo frame keepsake she created for her Dad's birthday. Just love the idea of using a baby photo for a 70th birthday gift!
There have also been some poignant answers to the our exit survey question, “What was your favorite message?”
"A message from my niece to her grandfather...she quoted a song he used to sing to all of us when we were little!"
January 17, 2011"All of these messages helped me to learn more about Daddy's years before me and also gave me a glimpse into his younger years."
January 17, 2011 Several years ago, an award winning radio producer named Dave Isay built a booth in Grand Central Terminal in New York. His goal was to interview anyone and everyone about their lives. It’s called StoryCorps and – if you’re an NPR listener – you know that the effort is still going strong.
At times, we think that VoiceQuilt is "StoryCorps Inside-Out". Instead of one person telling their life story (the StoryCorps model), a VoiceQuilt encourages everyone to share their impressions, memories and heartfelt stories about one person. It's amazing to hear the collage of voices -- and to hear the major themes emerge.
