Leaving a Legacy

I just received my books about the Joel Ricks family. It is very impressive. Gloria did much to add in our part of the history. Thanks. I felt this over whelming desire to have something to pass onto my grandchildren. I think of our childhood and how many adventures we had growing up. It would be nice to put those into books for our children to read.

I recently spoke with Bridget and she is currently brushing up on writing life histories from a book that she bought. She has already collected a few things. I would hope that as we approach this project (again) you as siblings would be willing to share your insights. We will not all see the same picture as our ages and experience levels were different at the moment of each event. Please open up your heart to our children that they will be able to see what it was like for us growing up. Thanks!

sounds like a big project, and a good one to look forward to. What did Briget do with the stories she collected on the water fights?

Also I was hoping we could type some of those stories, or reflect and remind each other of some of those experiences we have had in our lifetimes... to share is great!
