Join the Larimer County Genealogical Society to learn tips and ideas for writing our own life story. Well known local author, Jean Messinger, hopes to inspire and motivate people to write their memoirs, as it is very important to leave a recorded account of their lives---for family, friends, or anyone who chances to see it. People tend to think that their lives were ordinary and not worth the attention. But "ordinary" people meet extraordinary challenges of "ordinary" life---illness, loss, change, and adversity, besides accomplishment and the positive rewards of good relationships, vocational satisfaction, etc. Thinking over the past can be cathartic. And it's worthwhile at ANY age.
