History and memory . . .we often think of things lost to history meaning 1,000’s of years ago i.e. how the pyramids were built, what was Easter Islands purpose, but what about hundreds or even a generation.
I was just listening to the history channel which was talking about the cornerstone on the White House. A stone that was placed with much pomp and circumstance, a brass plate was even put to it, but today the location us unknown. Under President Truman there was even a study by the corps of engineers to find it but to no avail.
What about even in your own life? Talk to your parents, your siblings – there will already be facts lost, ideas that no one is quite sure of, memories that people diffiantly disagree about. . . My answer write, photograph, tape . . .
How will / do you keep memories alive and accurate?
