    Excellent writer/speakers, Stacey was good moderator, audience very engaged. I left wishing the event could be monthly. I came home and worked on a chapter in my memoir.
  • Sue
    It was very helpful. I realized for the first time, you don't have to write a memoir for anyone else--I can do it just for me and then see how it goes.
  • Dickey Eason
    Two outstanding guests!
  • Bob Lollar
    This was a very good discussion by Nancy and Elaine on questions presented to them by Stacey and the audience.
  • Jim Stoots
    Started me thinking in a little different direction and a new way to approach a very complex subject.To explain that which most won't believe will take some re- thinking! My first time went well and I enjoyed talking to others after meeting.
