The Voice Library: Create Audio Recordings to Preserve Lasting Memories

October 8, 2019 by Rebecca Forstadt-Olkowski 6 Comments

The voice library audio recordings

Have you ever wanted to hear a loved one’s voice again who has passed on? That was the impetus that led to the creation of The Voice Library 12 years ago. It started by offering people the opportunity to archive audio tributes to their loved ones as an alternative to a written obituary.

Boomer Brands: Iconic Brands That Shaped Our Childhood

What brands do you remember most when you look back to the 60s and 70s? The first one that comes to my mind is Frosted Flakes. I guess I must have had a crush on Tony the Tiger. Others were Twinkies, Kool-Aid, Tang, and Oscar Mayer weiners. Barry Silverstein has a new book coming out called Boomer Brands: Iconic Brands that Shaped Our Childhood. It’s a fun read and brings back … [Read more...]

Cold War TV and Other Shows We Loved to Watch as Kids in the 1960s

Now they are making a huge difference in the political landscape even though some “adults” protest they should have stayed in class and have even threatened them with bodily harm.

President Kennedy and the Day the Earth Stood Still

Baby Boomers | Nostalgia | President Kennedy Assassination

The Baby Boomer generation extends from 1949 – 1964 and I’m smack dab in the middle, born in 1953. I was 10-years-old the day President Kennedy was assassinated and remember it like it was yesterday. The fact that classified documents dealing with the assassination are being released to the public after 50 years is a big deal. Who doesn’t wonder what really happened and why? … [Read more...]
