Welcome to Nancy’s Memoirs!

In January 2020, just before the Covid-19 pandemic engulfed the world, my daughter Eva signed me up for a memoir writing class at The Senior Center in Davis.  She knew I liked to write.  Soon afterwards The Senior Center closed and the memoir class transferred to Zoom, with a new leader, Lorraine Visher.  We meet once a week for a lively, 2-hour session.  We feel we have become a “family.”

But why am I putting my stories on the web?  I wrote them for family and friends in California, the East Coast and Europe.  I wrote them originally with the idea that they would be read after I am gone, to remind people of me.  But I can’t wait so long.  I just celebrated my 96th birthday.  I want my family and friends to enjoy my stories now, and I would very much like to get feedback. I hope you enjoy the stories!
