About this title

From the Author

My Favorite Chapter Project
As my parents reach their 90's, I'm so glad I've preserved their likeness and thoughts on videotape. Future generations of my family will now be able to see their ancestors decades and maybe centuries from now (if there are any antique VCR's still hanging around!). That's what my chapter--"The Art of the Interview"--is all about. It details how to set up a grandparent interview for maximum video quality and even has a list of questions to ask grandma or grandpa, such as "what was your first kiss like?" or "what did you do during World War II?". Can you imagine popping a videotape into your VCR that has your great, great, great grandpa describing his exploits as one of Paul Revere's Minutemen during the Revolutionary War? Wow! But that's exactly how future generations will view your interview of grandpa or grandma. Even if you don't buy my book, do the grandparent or special person interview anyway before it's too late. You'll thank me 20 years from now when they're gone. This is just one of the many projects in my book. You know, an expensive camcorder sits in a closet 99 percent of the time, except for a birthday party or holiday. In reality, camcorders can bring great pleasure, creativity and education value any day of the week. All you need is just a few ideas on what to do with it. That's what my book is all about! Thanks. I hope you like my book. Send me an email and tell what you like about it.
