Eulane Mellon quote: "I would encourage anyone who is older to write down as much as they can remember. They may think that no one cares, but their children and grandchildren will when they grow up. I have so many regrets about not really listening and asking questions when my grandparents and parents were alive, and I've heard so many others say the same thing."
