"R.I.P. Katherine Johnson: She hand-calculated the trajectory for America’s first trip to space. Helped Apollo 13 get home. Yet NASA mathematician Katherine Johnson, winner of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, remained unknown to most Americans until the movie Hidden Figures came out in 2017. “She was an American hero and her pioneering legacy will never be forgotten," NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine said Today in announcing Johnson’s death at age 101." - From National Geographic Newsletter 2/25/2020
5 Minute Storytelling Scripts
When creating a legacy story, you don’t need to spend a lot of time to gain a lot of return. I like to focus on five-minute storytelling. These are pre-written, conversational scripts to share with nursing staff and those who are serving someone in care. They provide a guide and framework to write the story. It’s quick and to the point, but the rewards can be enormous.
Use these five-minute storytelling scripts to help caregivers share their memories about your parent, grandparent, or beloved aunt. Sometimes, caregivers have sides to the story that families don’t have full access to, and that can make for a robust legacy.
