Generations of Stories

THREE GENERATIONS are under one roof in our Cashel home at the moment as we count the hours to a new arrival. Hearing the grandparents tell stories makes me realise that our oral history collection is too small. It's the same compelling thought I hear time and again from Mark Rock, Bob Goyetche and Mark Blevis. Several times a day, family stories unfold in small talk that I should record. Those stories will disappear forever as people pass away. I carry all the recording gear needed to archive all these stories and I just have to pull my Nokia E7 out of my pocket and tap an icon on its screen. I've long overdue. And for visitors interested in other important news, we are overdue.
