Grandpa, Were You Young Once?: a Look at Who We Were, What We Did, What We Learned and How Times Have Changed for Our Grandkids William C. Gould

Grandpa, Were You Young Once." is written to inspire seniors to recall their special memories in a way that brings a smile or a nod to most readers. It also helps seniors share the Golden Years so grandchildren understand what we learned, why we have our values and dispels some of the generation gap. The book is a wonderful gift for grandparents, friends, relatives and especially grandkids. It is an excellent way to cheer up folks who need a lift. Personal memories can be a source of pure joy. The book also encourages seniors to jot down their own memories so the entire family can enjoy them. A supporting free web site helps them write their memories as well. The book explores the way things were (1940-80), how they are today from a senior viewpoint, and what tomorrow may look like. The chapters focus on old cars, sports, music, jobs, books, military service, how grandparents met, and other key events. These subjects are fun, but also much more. These every day subjects are what most genealogists would like to know about their ancestors. The book allows the reader to make notes about each topic, so a family record can be preserved. The book is enjoyable, inspiring and thought provoking for seniors and those who love them.
