Is it worth it???



I have been filling a file with all kinds of rememberances of Gini..... But just when I am about to start I begin to wonder if it is worth it. It will be good for me and hard at the same time. But will anyone ever read it or care about it. Mom Carlson had years of diaries and right now I dont even know for sure where they are. Sharon and Dave arent crying for them. I have in the trunk out at the farm some few years of diaries from time in Viet Nam. But I doubt if anyone will ever read them. It is just the way it is. I am different. If I only knew more about my parents and grandparents. Thats why I wrote Suland. But who but me cares about the past. the past is over. Everyone is so on the treadmill of the present. So people disappear from their full and interesting lives and it just slips into a black hole without anyone even caring.

So I may start on Gini history and things she did and what she thought etc.... Just maybe one -of children or grandchildren daughter in laws grandaughter in laws will get the motivation.

Like Roger 'Steinkamp's wife lucy, of french exactraction got into it and produccd the Steinkmap geneology and history. It is in the chest in the bedroom at the farm. Also a man I met once who is a Nash did the same for the the Nash ancestory. It also is in that chest...
