I'm leaving my video for my grandchildren so they know about their family. Cory was just terrific because he asked questions that brought the best out of me. He is very good at interviewing.

Some things need to be said.

There are events from my life that I had never told anyone. But I think my grand kids could learn something from the things that happened to me. So when Cory and I were together with the video camera...I shared those things. Now my grand kids know everything. I feel very proud.
