You know all those great stories you love to tell the family? Now it's time to write 'em!

So, you've lived awhile and you've seen a thing or two (and you're not Farmers Insurance -- bum ba dum bum bum bum bum). Who's going to remember your stories after you're gone. Sure, the kids might but they'll probably get most of the details wrong. And, then, who's going to tell the stories after they're gone. There's only one solution. (Well, there are actually several but we're on a roll here talking about this one so stay with us, okay?) The solution is: write your memories. Your memoirs. Get the stories down on paper. Now. You probably won't use an old L.C. Smith & Brothers No. 2 like the one in the picture and you probably don't have a desk like that (maybe you do). In any case, you can tell your stories. Even if it's on a notepad. Or your iPad.  Here's help on where to start. At Eckerd College's Osher Lifelong Learning Institute, Pat Brown is offering a class called Introduction to Memoirs in three sessions on Tuesdays. 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. November 29, December 6 and December 13, in the CEC Heron Room.
