Would you save the "lives" of those people frozen in time or would you cart off those old memories to the dustbin of history?

It is a book about your parents, your grandparents and the legacies they leave behind. We need not be war heroes or NASA space pioneers to be important in the lives of others. Our memories and accomplishments should be preserved for the next generation. This is what this book is about.
