Story-Corps Promotes Listening and Talking

Posted by Elva 
· December 3, 2008 

Betting that couples have untold stories to tell, an oral-history organization, Story-Corps, scheduled a listening day for Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving. The national event stemmed from Dave Issay’s Story Corps progam which has helped nearly 25,000 people record interviews on CD’s to preserve their stories.

Everett and I discovered a long time ago that we have a wealth of stories to tell each other and we continue to create stories together. Long ago we discovered some places along the north coast of California that are perfect settings for story telling. We watch the sun go down over the ocean and don’t turn on lights. Then we talk about pets we had and how we got them, childhood adventures, houses we lived in, friends we had, interests, accidents, fears, dreams, the bad, the good and everything in between. And just when I think I have heard all of Everett’s stories, he tells one I have never heard. It’s wonderful!

Now I just enjoy hearing again about how when Ev was 5 years old his grandfather sent him to the store to buy something his mother didn’t want her father to buy and told him not to tell her. If you don’t take time to share your stories with each other, you risk never becoming soul mates.
