Sue Fabian Series: What Makes You...YOU!
Time
11:00 AM
One-hundred-and-fifty years ago, my 3rd great-grandmother loaded a spinning wheel and accessories on the boat to journey to the new land of America. What possessed her to lug this rather large artifact, a prized possession amongst her worldly items she could haul on a boat? How I wish to have known more about her and her life, her values, the politics of her day, even what a day in a life was like for her. We now have this opportunity to record our legacy for our descendants in a fun and spontaneous way, so they are not wondering about what our lives were like. Elderlaw Attorney, Geriatric Care Manager and Licensed Professional Counselor
Sue E. Fabian will take you on the grand adventure called your life.
