Mutual of Omaha is running a series of ads about people’s “aha” moments. This clip is about Bob, a man finally writing his memoirs.
“I always wanted to be sure the truth was told about my life. And I realized, the only one who was going to make that truth was me.”
Watch Bob explain his “aha” moment.
Do you long to tell your story? Do you have a story that you would like to tell? Make this moment your ‘aha’ moment. Write your story, tell your story, leave your story for your family and friends.

Oral Histories in Washington State
Posted by Trish under Oral History, Personal Stories

Calling all Washington State history buffs. Now available on-line are oral histories of Washington citizens who’ve had an impact on the state.
Sponsored by the Secretary of State’s office, histories included are from Krist Novaselic, the Nirvana bass player and Adele Ferguson, the first female member of the Capital press corps. But my personal favorite is the personal history of former Justice Charles Z Smith, the first black member of the state Supreme Court. He is one of the trailblazers that has opened doors for so many others. Read about his road to the Supreme Court.
More profiles are being compiled and will be released soon.
