Health trumps Recording
We have had to postpone the next recording session, hence the lack of a podcast posting last night. We expect to get that next one up this coming weekend so be prepared! It's a good one! In recognition of Grandparents' Day (OK, the 10th), we will be talking about the sad aspect of our elderly parents and grandparents: the time they have to give up the family home and leave you with the clean-out process. We will have some experiences to share as well as some tips about how to approach the task. So keep an eye on this blog for that, and other, podcasts just around the corner.
Born in Illinois, I grew up in Wilmette, a northern suburb of Chicago. I have one sibling, an older brother. I am married, for the 2nd time now, to Butch & got 4 children in the deal. They have gone on to make me grandmother 25 times over & great-grandmother to over 20!.
After many years working in industry, I got my bachelors and masters degrees in speech communication, & was a professor in that field for 13 years. I retired in 2001 & returned to school & got my doctorate in folklore. Now I meld my two interests - folklore & genealogy - & add my teaching background, resulting in my current profession: speaker/author/entertainer of genealogically-related topics. I play many folk instruments, but my preference is guitar, which I have been playing since 1963. I write the "Aunty Jeff" column for the Informer, newsletter of the Jefferson County NY Gen. Soc. I work in partnership with Gena Philibert-Ortega & Sara Cochran as Genealogy Journeys® where we focus on educating folks about Social History. More about that: genaandjean.blogspot.com.
