Greetings!
I read in AARP magazine about the upcoming "The Great Thanksgiving Listen".
It reminded me of the oral history lesson that Theresa Trebon guided the
high school students through during the ROOTS Project.
Capturing oral history is so valuable -- oral tradition is a vanishing form
of passing along to the next generation family histories, stories and
historical events. Now there is an app available for download that will
make the process easy for students...anyone...to participate with a smart
phone. High School students are encouraged to get involved.  So, capture
those all important stories then gather the family together and listen to
those stories and enjoy learning about history.

  I thought perhaps you might be inspired to get involved in some way with
this project.

Please find below the link to Story Corps information about The Great
Thanksgiving Listen.

Happy Thanksgiving to you all.
