Our Histories

How do we learn history?  Surely we can read it.  We were told that in elementary school and throughout our education.  We learn some by living it too. But our narratives here won't be long, just stories about what life was like for us in the past nine decades.

This site offers observations and experiences of two people who have lived jointly more than 150 years.  We are both in our 70's, and one of us will be 80 this year.

The perspective of time can help everyone grow, including those who live long and prosper or not.

For many people of advancing age, the future is limited; the past is filled with a vast storehouse of information, much of it untouched, untold---or even unwelcome.  Very often we hear from the young about their perceptions of events, but with the perspective of time, one learns how to approach the new within the context of the old.

One of us has lived in eight decades; the other in nine. So I guess we have stories to tell.

And let us know, in comments to share,what you think and know too.
