    "My Story, Your Story –– Our Stories"

    My stories will bring together a group of stories that illustrate the "unique but universal" quality of everyday experiences becoming extraordinary in their power to touch hearts, forge bonds, and foster connections. We may not all live at the same time or in the same place, but our stories are unique, yet universal. Lyn will present mostly family stories. This type of storytelling has brought into sharp focus for Lyn the continuing impact and influence of her ancestors. The times they lived in, the decisions they made, their experiences ...echo in all our lives – and stories beget stories!
    Lyn Davidge
