Tell Your Story . . . . . . . . Preserve the Past
It's simple with Senior Services' Story Tell
"Our kids gave us gift certificates for Story Tell for Christmas—hour-long taped videos of ourselves telling our stories. This is a $100 service of Senior Services. Senior Services provided a list of sample questions, and our son Jay acted as the interviewer. The interview was professionally recorded at Senior Services in Belltown. David Chew, the taper, went way beyond what was required, inserting photos of the schools where my husband was principal, getting a photo of a ‘67 Mustang that John mentioned on the tape, etc. The process was easy for us. We were very pleased with the results and our kids and grandkids even more so. Angie, our daughter-in-law, whose 68-year-old father has become extremely ill in the past year and can no longer speak, is kicking herself that she has missed the opportunity of Story Tell for him."
