2014 Memoir Anthology - Let It Be Recorded . . . a Collection of Memoirs
Senior citizens with fascinating stories to tell pass away every day without those tales being recorded for future generations. Concerned members of the HDCWC decided to teach local high school students the basics of memoir writing and asked that younger generation to interview their elders so that they could capture those vanishing legends. The result is this terrific anthology. Memoirs were written by the students of the Academy for Academic Excellence. The book was published by the High Desert Branch of the California Writers Club.
