Elster will share portions of the oral histories she obtained from her family and will read passages from her Ford family historical fiction trilogy, "Who's Jim Hines?," "The Colored Car," and "How It Happens" to show how she used oral histories to create the narratives in the books.
 
Elster will offer tips on obtaining oral histories from your family members during family gatherings such as reunions, holidays and other celebrations.
