Life Stories of OLLI Members
Writing From Our Lives
The OLLI writing class instructor, Lynne Kaufman, recently gave her students the assignment to write a story based on something that they had personally experienced. The stories covered the gamut of human experiences from tragic to amusing. The stories are too long to print in The Oracle, but a few class members agreed to make their stories available on the internet.
