Ellie Tells A Story

[Julie]

This is a voicethread presentation that I made using old photos of my mother, taken by my father, most likely, in the 1930s and 40s.

Julie, you've told a beautifully shaped and narrated story here, just the right length, eliciting a few laughs, but richly foreshadowing Ellie's influence on you. I never met her, though I knew you when she died and met your dad, coming to sit shivah at their apartment, and it sounds to me as if Ellie would be very proud of your creation.

Thanks for sharing this. Your tone mirrors the description of your mom's personality that I have created in my mind through your story. I imagine that she was/is a very calming person to be around because she was able to offer the magic of literature and profound storytelling.
