"Memories are the key not to the past, but the future."
-Corrie ten Boom
Our stories speak volumes about who we are and where we have been. Beyond this, they teach us about our community. They provide a window into a different place and time, an older way of life.
Stories are valuable time capsules of days gone by, as well as rich testaments to the endless variety and joy in every life.
The Stratford Story Project is devoted to collecting, preserving, and celebrating these stories. Through personal interviews, local writer Lindsay Kroes has gathered the memories and past experiences of fifty seniors living in the Stratford area, recording them in an anthology entitled Gather by the Avon: The Stratford Story Project Book.
