"The universe is made of stories, not of atoms," wrote author Muriel Rukeyser. Kay Reid, an oral historian who lives in the New Columbia neighborhood, knows this to be the truth, and she also knows that every person and family has a unique and compelling story. She has recorded 130 of these stories for families and organizations Kay will give a "starter" workshop on how people can preserve and record the stories of their families, friends, colleagues, and community organizations. The workshop is free.  A packet of additional tools and information will be available for a small fee.
