LifeBook Memoirs

LifeBook Memoirs LifeBook Memoirs is the world’s leading private autobiography specialist. LifeBook's founder Roy's story: For me, LifeBook has been a very personal experience.

Each LifeBook is a unique piece of family history, a handcrafted treasure for generations to come. It started with my father, Jules, who had so many stories to tell but for whom I had no time – I was far too busy with my own life. In his final years, Dad had become blind and was starting to shut down, to the point he felt he no longer had anything to contribute. He tried to talk to me but I wasn’t

listening; after all, I had heard it all so many times before. I felt guilty and had to come up with a solution – what then happened turned out to be the precursor to LifeBook. I arranged for a family friend, Kathy, to visit Dad every week for an interview in which he could talk as much as he wanted about his precious memories. Of course, it was all new to her and he welcomed her enquiries as his story unfolded. A further advantage was that between interviews he was able to prepare by reminiscing and writing notes, which gave him something positive to occupy his time. Once he had started, he found (as he put it) he was remembering things he hadn’t realised he had forgotten. The end result was a precious LifeBook containing all his stories, including some that were new to me. For example, I now know that one of my ancestors was King of Poland, although apparently only for one night! But more than that, I have a permanent reminder of Dad, now, sadly, deceased, that I will treasure forever. Roy Moëd – Founder

Co-founder Roy Moëd discusses a very special LifeBook Memoirs project: a tribute book created to record the life of Tony, a father and husband who passed away suddenly. LifeBook ghostwriters worked with Tony’s wife and interviewed 26 other friends and family members around the world to create this unique book, of which only three copies were printed. Two copies remain in a safe for each of Tony’s young sons, preserving his precious life story and legacy until they are old enough to read it.

Studies show that more than 90 percent of teenagers and young adults can retell family stories when asked, even if they seemed uninterested when those stories were told. These stories make connections and bridge gaps between generations and help build a sense of identity in the young.

But, when opportunities to share these stories start to dwindle away, how can we ensure that they aren’t lost for future generations? In our latest blog post, entitled How to Handle Unanswered Questions Before its Too Late, we walk you through this process, providing eight key questions to ask.

What’s new in the library?

Fred Parkin gave his children the following advice: “One of the important things in life is to be very curious because a strong sense of curiosity and a good memory will always be confused with intelligence.”

We were honored to help Fred tell his life story, in which his adventurous curiosity took him from a career as Pan Am around-the-world pilot to the management of the highly successful and widely popular Chevy’s restaurant chain.
