Celebrating Memory
On Tuesday, June 24, StoryCorps facilitators Martha O’Brien and Cindy Murphy recorded local stories at the Alzheimer’s Association Mid South Chapter in Nashville, Tennessee as part of StoryCorps’ Memory Loss Initiative.
Each interview consisted of a participant interviewing his or her aging loved one. These storytellers shared a miscellany of compelling and emotive memories, including a childhood spent in China, “Sunday Night Suppers” with family, Gone with the Wind, and the Korean War.
It was a pleasure to be a part of preserving these conversations, all of which will no doubt grow more precious with time.

For over 15 years I have worked with a patient population experiencing dementia. I know what precious memories they have and the stories they are able to share. I look forward to hearing this segment on NPR.
