[or-roots] rememberance books

[dgoodma02 at comcast.net]

I was an only child, just me, mom, and dad.  They told me very little about my family and I only knew one cousin, and both set of grandparents.
So I decided to have something about my life to leave for my kids. Someone from this list suggested that I write a Personal History.
Well some 34 pages later I have.  My kids (kids!, my son is 55!) learned of this and wanted to see it.  But I told them "NO!, you can see it when I'm gone!!"
