Writer Naomi Shibata will share how documenting family stories began as a gift to her mother and evolved into a means of connecting five generations of her family. She will discuss lessons learned along the way, as well as how she worked with novice writers to help them turn oral histories into the written word. Interested persons may sign up for a summer writing workshop that begins in June and concludes in September with a reading of participants' stories.
