I REMEMBER WHEN... by Maisie Turner
I wish I'd paid attentionWhen mother reminisced,
Now no-one's left to fill me inOn all the bits I missed.
There are many details missing,Facts I can't recall,
The Whens, Whys and WhereforesNow no-one knows at all.
When elders of the familyBegan, 'I Remember When...'I'd raise my eyes to Heaven
And think 'Here they go again!'
Oh! how I wished I'd listened,Now they've all gone to earth.
I've lost a chunk of historyFrom times before my birth.

Kinross High School ‘WW2 Memories’
Photojournalism Project with Living Communities
What happened next………….
Older people in the group have appreciated the support with technology from pupils and the young people, particularly the pupil volunteer, have remarked how ‘history has come to life’ for them through discussion and storytelling. The perceptions of all the generations involved have changed by working together, sharing knowledge and support from all ages.
Had a great session with High School pupils
regarding memories of WW2
Enjoyed company and conversation with the
young people – plenty to talk about!
Interviews a very pleasant experience.
Generations in our community came
together in an experience which was immensely rewarding for us all.
Brought memories from the past into today’s
world.
A fascinating afternoon with the reminiscence group - without them this project would not
have been possible.
