I wish I had had enough sense to thoroughly interrogate my oldest great aunts and uncles. Being supremely disinterested in the old people of my youth, I failed to tap this source of family tales. At some point as I grew up, I realized I had so many questions and no one left answer it. I did assign a student project to go home and questioned the oldest people in your family. Some of the kids in the class were astonished by the things that happened to their oldest family members.
