Book Description
In Tickle Your Funny Bone, I have attempted to capture the essence of everyday folks from all vocations. It is a tragedy for people to live to a ripe old age and, when they die, to allow their wonderful experiences to die with them. Oral history is rapidly dying across our nation. With the explosion of instant communication, we have lost the art of passing on everyday events of interest to future generations. There was a time, not very long ago, when families would sit around the fireplace and relate memories from times long past. Thus, the idea for this book was formed. The purpose is to provide an avenue for common everyday folks, who most likely would never be mentioned in history books, to relate memories that are meaningful in their lives and allow these memories to be passed on through time.
