Dotsie I love the video taping idea. One of my cousins did this with grandma and I will always treaure that tape. He had prepared a lot of questions so it was easier to keep her talking.
Reunions with family and friends like you've talked about are a wonderful way to do this. I think my grandmothers brother was also taped at the reunion.We didn't get to go to the reunion but I sent over a lot of geneology and family history. my mother was in the hospital at the time. He and I shared the same birthday so it was neat to see and hear him again. We sent cards for a long time. I have the last one he sent me after our son was born. I get so excited about all this stuff.
