Video Script Hi and Welcome to BackWhen-dot-com where we make “Telling Your Memories” an easy and fun project that uses your personal history to pass on your valuable experiences, insights and joys to family and friends. Just take a photo or two, add some words and create a gift that will keep on giving for decades to come. Oprah, in her recent “O” magazine picked Our Heritage Maker support tools for Family History as one of the top 100 reasonably priced family gifts. Reminisce Magazine, a wonderful senior publication also links to our site for creating these memory books. Why do they feel our site is important… Well, in the old days, our grandpas and grandmas lived nearby and their stories provided some family continuity, shared values and roots. But, today, the demands and distractions of our children make generational togetherness very difficult, and sometimes impossible. Our BackWhen goal is to provide easy-to-use tools to help you share your family memories and bridge the generation, distance and time gaps. Our nostalgic JukeBoxes on the left of your screen have thousands of memories from photos, to music to videos to people and events. You will be amazed at how visiting our JukeBoxes will make your personal memories come flooding back about Growing Up, School Daze, Uncle Sam, Careers, Holidays, Travels and more. And don’t forget to share your wonderful recipes and war stories. On the right side of BackWhen you have our recommendations for the best and easiest way to capture your personal memories. They are as easy as 1, 2, 3. The easiest is to type a short story about a memorable event from your past. Click “EZ StoryTelling” and we will put it on our free website. You then just tell family and friends to log-on to read it or print it. Our readers have contributed nearly a thousand stories you can read, as examples. They range from growing up to careers to holidays and family life. After you have written several short stories, you may want to make a collection of them in a Family Memory Book.
