Fortunately, my mom loved to talk about the past and about daily life on  the 
farm and also relate stories that had been told to her by her mother,  who 
died at 98. Their combined life experience stretched bak to a few years  
after 
the Civil War, but since my mom passed 2 years ago, I've realized  that there 
was a lot more that I should have asked about, especially as I  am preparing 
her estate for an auction in Sept.   None of her 10  grandchildren seem to be 
interested in the family history (which includes the  French & Indian War 
period 
on the frontier) or in family antiques or "old"  things, or even just the 
stories I found so interesting...
