We're all getting older, passing milestones on our way. Anniversaries, weddings, birthdays, retirements, awards and more cn all pass in what seems like a moment. And then, it's too late. Uncle Johnny was an important part of the family. Mary was the backbone of accounting. Grandma knew so much about the family, from Ellis Island to living through war and peace. As Dean Martin sang, "Memories are Made of This".
Of course, there are boxes full of photos, and cabinets full of videotapes or films, and plenty of newspaper clippings-- wouldn't it be nice to pay tribute to Aunt Winnie while she's still with us? That company founder that's retiring-- doesn't he deserve a "Tribute"?
