问题详情:
Sit down, close your eyes and relax. Think about your childhood and the memories you created. What was your favorite childhood memory and what was your favorite as a child? Or what was your favorite Christmas present or your favorite candy bar when growing up? Answers may come easily for some people but for others, it may take more time to think about.
Mary Jo McCarthy of Pequot Lakes wants to help others document their childhood memories which could be treasured by current families and for generations to come. McCarthy, 64, a short story author and retired columnist(专栏作家) for the Lake Country Echo weekly newspaper, began hosting a writing seminar(研讨班)titled “A Time to Remember”. The classes are limited to 12 people and are conducted in the nursery at Lutheran Church of the Cross in Nisswa and the registration fee is $25.
McCarthy said what led her to start the writing seminars was writing others’ biographies. A retired businessman asked her to write his biography as a ghost writer. She said others from her church in Pequot Lakes had also asked her to write their biographies because they didn’t know how to write them. She thought hosting a class to help people write their own biographies would be more beneficial to them.
McCarthy said people had busy lifestyles those days and didn‘t have a chance to sit down and write down their memories that they might forget and never remember. She said writing down the memories would document the person’s life, go other family members, especially future generations would be able to read about them.
