Barbara Marriott, a SaddleBrooke author
If you’re over 50, you are a walking encyclopedia of historic events. Author Barbara Marriott wants to publish your personal memories and remembrances of historical events during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries in a book titled Where Were You When. So much has happened, and so quickly in the past 100 years. Where were you when World War II broke out, on D-Day, when the World Trade Center blew up and many, many other significant events, including the introduction of informational and communication technology. Did you participate? Were you a bystander? How did the event affect you? What were your feelings or thoughts at the time?
