Tron by Brian Daley
Edmund Hansen is the pioneer in the use of the episode approach to memoir writing. In the episode approach, an activity like family camping is told in its entirety and not integrated piece-meal chronologically with other on-going activities. Many episodes have the capability to stand-alone as a publishable short story. Edmund views life''''s peaks and valleys as equally important in defining the person we are today, and both are to appear in a memoir. While we share in common with humanity the growth stages of life, individually we have a separate and unique walk. Our task is to identify the 100 or so episodes that clearly characterize us so our relatives both living and yet unborn will better understand the era and culture that molded us, the decisions we made, the historical and family events that occurred and the significant individuals who helped shape our personality.
