Introduction

I hope you will enjoy the third edition of the Lifescapes anthology, Echoes From The Past Lifescapes introduces participants to storytelling and writing, and is a program designed to help participants write their memoirs. The program responds to Milton Public Library encouragement of lifelong learning, authorship promotion, and empowering people to be creative. These activities not only enrich the writers, but also the community through the shared stories. shared stories, learned helpful memoir writing tips, worked on writing exercises, and had a lot of fun. Brantford author, Larry Brown, visited the class and talked about descriptive writing, opening lines, and dialogue. Both his expertise and his easygoing teaching style were sincerely appreciated by all. My thanks to all the authors for their delightful company, hard work, dedication, and honesty in allowing all of us to enter into their experiences.

Cinderella story was written.

I turned 17 in September of 1963. In early November of that year my real-life mother came into our kitchen as I was toasting bread for breakfast. My caffeine habit would not kick in for another 2 or 3 years and so I was stumbling around the kitchen in a half daze, not eager to converse with anyone.
