Seniors have the Most Interesting Stories

Do you know a Senior Citizen who lived in the Haigler area during the early part of their life? How about giving them a visit and letting them tell you stories about their experience growing up in this corner of the world.

You will find these people still living in their homes, at the Hester Home in Benkelman, in Wray or St. Francis. Maybe as far as McCook or North Platte. I just know they would love to have a visit from you.

There are also people who have letters, diaries and memories told to them by parents who have so much to share.

We invite you to interview people and either record with a tape recorder, camcorder or write down these stories. Taking pictures and sharing them would also be exciting.

If someone who lives in Haigler would be willing to scan some pictures and send them along with stories, that would make it even more interesting!

I wish I would have listened closer when my dad was telling about his childhood in Haigler. I only have short blurbs of memory about things he said, but I am writing them down and comparing notes with my sisters, brother and mom and plan to publish some of them here on the blog in the near future.

It would be so interesting to hear your stories, too. I hope you will share them with us!
