In 1996/97 I was 19 and a sophomore at BYU and had a very strong prompting (not from one of my university teachers) to send my grandfather a tape recorder and ask him to tell me anything and everything about his life. I know that's vague, but at the time, I didn't know about oral history interviews. I kept shoving it aside--I was busy with school, etc. And then I found out that he had suffered a stroke. He lived for 8 years, but never regained his ability to communicate in any way that would have allowed him to share that information. So I guess I just want to agree with you emphatically. Don't pass up your opportunity.<br /><br />PS I ended up changing my major to family history and graduated in 03. Just can't get enough of it! :)Christihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08025068909855339449noreply@blogger.com
