Well, Barbara. looks like I should take my own advice and READ MY EMAILS. I read the reply to this one before I read this one original. I guess this idea only works if the pictures are from your family. I would like to capture memories of elderly people in senior living facilities about their lives in case their family might want them after they die. But then you have to know what or who to ask about in their life. I'm not sure how this would work. But here is an area that holds a real treasure for family members who might not have the time to sit down and record their family's information. I guess a person could take one of those books like for Fathers or Mothers that you give out on their respective days and use those questions to record a interview with the senior.

Jane, Sorry for jumping in but you might find some good information at this site. I used it for my gerontology paper. http://www.storycorps.net/record-your-story I printed out some good questions. You don't have to do all it says about registering, you can get your questions and print them out without participating any farther.
