In fact, most people don’t want to think about it either. But students in the Community Literacy and Family History Class at Indiana University–Purdue University Fort Wayne (IPFW) learned that helping those who will be passing on soon tell their lives’ stories was inspirational. The class focused on community literacy, service learning, family history, and the often overlooked population of the elderly and terminally ill. Thu, 10 Jun 2010 13:04:14 EDT 136029
