You probably wish you knew more.
If you are like most people, you did not pay much attention to your family's stories while your elders were still around. Perhaps your grandparents lived through the Great Depression or served in World War II, the Korean War or Vietnam.  Or Uncle Ed remembers Charleston as a bucolic town that slowed to a crawl in the summertime because of the oppressive heat. Is it possible that your reserved and dignified Aunt Pat was a hippie or marched in the Civil Rights Movement?
All these family stories are personal accounts that reflect the times and society that helped previous generations come of age. Their experiences shaped them and are part of their influence on you.
The Lowcountry of South Carolina has a rich and diverse history created by fascinating characters. Too many people wish they had recorded stories from their elders after it's too late. You can make the decision now to get a professional write-up of a senior member of your family or a couple whose legacy you want future generations to remember.
As the owner of pmWriting LLC, I will preserve the stories of one family member or couple and produce a booklet and digital file which will include any provided pictures so that you can share and preserve these memories. This keepsake will become part of your family's history and perhaps start a tradition that you can continue in the future.
