Moderator: Melissa Broome fell in love with telling her family story by participating in OLLI classes. Curiously going deeper, she taught herself genealogy to learn the details of her ancestors. Combining her skills as a scrapbooker, librarian, and technology and history educator, she is recording the story of her family. Happily, her story will always be a work in progress.
