Some workshop reflections
I have been told that I am somewhat of an introvert and do not like to talk about myself.
However, my memoir narrative seemed to easily flow-out under Bob's orchestrated prompting
and encouragement. Questions asked to me allowed me to discuss my life, from my education
through my career, in a uncomplicated and meaningful manner. What surprised me was how
much my children,grandchildren and their friends enjoyed my memoirs. - Victor

The first time I began working on my memoirs with Bob Becker I was taken in by his welcoming
nature. He has a way of making people feel comfortable. Always a good listener and sincere in
his interest in what people want to share. He encouraged, coached and guided me as I documented
my experiences. Just as he said it would, one memory led to another. I feel it’s important to
write our “stories” down so as to preserve a family’s legacy. I want to share my life’s experiences
with my family, letting them know who I am and sharing my perspective on times gone by.
It’s very rewarding and you might be surprised how welcoming your memoirs are to others.
I highly recommend sharing your life’s experiences. Bob, thank you for being my
guide on this rich and warm journey. - Linda Marie
The older I get the more I understand; The dwarf sees further than the giant when he has the
giants shoulders to mount upon. Bob is a teacher's teacher helping us, through his memoir
process, to see for miles and miles and miles. His memoir process has helped me to learn more
about myself and as the ancient Greek observed; An un-examined life has small value. Bob brings
out the best in everyone. He has helped to validate my life. - Joseph
Memoirs and Bob have opened my heart, my mind and my soul to infinite possibilities
and creativity that have changed my life forever. He's a writer, singer, comedian and more all
rolled up into one amazing human being. His generosity of spirit and compassionate
heart welcome all who come to his door. One enters his life as a stranger and
soon becomes part of his family. - Christa
I was delighted to find that upon attending my first session I was immediately
accepted and embraced by Bob and the rest of the group. Bob facilitates beautifully,
allowing everyone to proceed at their own pace. The meetings have become the
cornerstone of my week as I now write freely and emotionally about my experiences
and memories. It was obvious to me how much Bob has meant to this group.
The warmth, inclusion and productivity of the group are clearly the result of
Bob’s firm, yet gentle, leadership. He and the group have brought forth from
me ideas and memories I had long forgotten. I know that each of us in the
group feels that whatever strides we may have made is a testimony to Bob’s
presence and I personally cannot thank him enough. - Alan
