​Don't just tell what happened.  SHOW what happened. 
Take us back to the time, the place, the sights, the sounds, the smells, the feels.

What does this person look/do/talk/think/be like?  And what do you want and need to tell them?

Please attend the 3:30 talk by our WPA candidate in this building, Room 108 (3:30-4:30pm)
