Life Stories

These stories are a valuable part of our heritage; our national history has been created by people and events. Your life story is a part of that history.

In Seniors Week 2003 ASCCA was privileged to be a part of an exciting project that saw residents of the RSL Veterans Retirement Village and students from Wheeler Heights Primary School, Collaroy Plateau, NSW, come together and share their stories. Some of the stories told by those residents can be read on this page.

Many Seniors Computer Clubs have Genealogy or Creative Writing Special Interest Groups and members of these groups will be encouraging and helping their members to write their stories. This page will give members of Seniors Computer Clubs affiliated with ASCCA the opportunity to share parts of their life story. Please contact ascca@seniorcomputing.org for further details.
