Hi Rich

Take a cassette tape recorder with you and go armed with a discrete list of
questions, both on the NESBITTs and other family details she might fill you
in on. I've recorded older relatives and they've given me some great
stories. I wouldn't have remembered them without the recording. I then
transcribe them to have a hard copy, and share them with my generation.
They're recorded for posterity and lead to further questions.

The older generation is often glad that some one wnets to hear and remember
their stories.

Let me know how this works.

Malcolm

She' still with us however her memory is gone and she doesn't even recognize

close relations now. Interestingly enough, she well remembers details up to
the 1970's
only.
I will be visiting her in early July and will bring up the NESBITT name. She

used to be quite a talker so if I can dredge anything up from her it could
make for an interesting visit.
