Tell Your Life Story

Blue Hill, Maine - Maine writer, storyteller and personal historian, Eddie Adelman, will present “Tell Your Life Story” at the Blue Hill Public Library on Thursday, August 2nd, at 7:00 PM. The presentation is designed to encourage audience members to document their own life stories before they’re lost forever. It features a lively mixture of readings, music, instruction, inspiration and humor.

The preservation of life stories has become increasingly popular in recent years as baby boomers and seniors seek to pass along personal stories to their children, grandchildren and future generations. Adelman will offer easy to understand tips and instruction on memoir writing and oral histories. Woven in with the instruction are spoken excerpts from famous memoirs, as well as emotional songs that will underscore the value of passing along precious memories.

“Everyone needs a sense of belonging,” says Adelman. “Documenting these treasured life stories provides a window into history and a vital feeling of connectedness for family members and future descendants.”  

In addition to being a personal historian, Adelman is an AP Award Winning journalist, playwright and screenwriter. He’s written for the Portland Press Herald, MPBN Radio, The Maine Times, Bangor Metro Magazine and Maine Seniors Magazine.

Admission to “Tell Your Life Story” is free.  For more information call the Library at 374-5515.
