        Have you ever thought how great it would be to find a biography of your grandmother/father? That would be wonderful! So, with that in mind, think how your grandchildren, neices, nephews, would love to find a bio of you one day. I would like to recommend that we all do that. It sounds like a lot of work, but just start with an outline and work from there. Then fill in the details when you have time. An outline might be something as simple as    --   Early life, Education, Military Experience, Marriage, Work. Maybe include your favorite songs, books, teacher, friends, hobbies, where you were when ..., etc. Once you get started it is fun thinking back over the "good old days".
        So, have fun with it, and let me hear from you about your thoughts on how you would go about creating your biography!   I'll post them so we can all learn from each other.
        Thanks, Linda - Bibb County Coordinator
