"There never yet was an
uninteresting
life. Such a
thing is an
impossibility."
-Mark Twain
A good personal historian is a pleasant blend of listener, organizer, and writer. Who would know best how Maureen Lander measures up than past clients. Here's a few of their comments.
Bill Tryon
I was reluctant when my daughter first suggested I do this, but then I started to think how I never knew either of my grandfathers. I'ts hard to explain what's inside, why that matters, but it does. And Maureen has developed a format that makes it easy and enjoyable to relive and awaken your past, from childhood to the present time. It was a pleasure working with her. She's truly a professional.
Evelyn Svendsen
It was a pleasure to work with Maureen. You can feel her sincere interest in the story as you tell it. Our interviews were relaxed, and her questions elicited thoughtful answers. She helped me conjure up long forgotten memories that filled in the story. The time spent covering so much material seemed to just fly by.

Maureen's project with my 88-year-old mother was the most exciting activity of the year for her -- of many years! She was energized during the entire process. Mom repeated many times how much this meant to her and how relieved she was to have the story finally preserved. She was actually giddy with excitement as we prepared the books for mailing to relatives in Sweden, who then asked for more copies.
