Stories & History


On this day in 1940 Winston Churchill spoke
to the House of Commons in England while
the Battle of Britain was being fought.


"Never in the field of human conflict was 

so much owed by so many to so few."   

                                   -Winston Churchill




                                  
                     John J. J. Niven,   Royal Air Force  1940

                           Mentor (to this photographer) 1990's
                                     R.I.P  (1911-2000)

       Do you have a special photo given to you along with a story?
              That first-hand story is gold for future generations.

         "If stories come to you, care for them."                                                     -Barry Lopez


         " The universe is made of stories, not atoms." 
                                                      -Muriel Rukeyser

Maybe today make the effort to collect a story from someone who has
been on this earth  for over 60 years. Look! those people with
stories are everywhere--even in your very own family.
