A POT OF GOLD AT THE END OF THE RAINBOW...

I interviewed a lovely lady recently for a life story, whose memory was starting to get pretty scratchy. As I was leaving her I asked just on spec if she had ever written anything down about her life. She said,
" Just a little bit in a folder, but more about previous homes and furniture, nothing really of interest." But I asked to borrow the folder anyway, just in case.

Once home I found I had discovered the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow...buried treasure...the most exciting, detailed reminiscing you rarely see. Wonderful family stories dating back several generations and even including letters, birth certificates and amazing old images. None of her family knew of the existence of this folder and she herself had no idea what wonderful content it contained. This is going to be an incredible life story book. Thank goodness I asked that one simple question...it will certainly be something I always ask from now on in...
