“This is the best decision we could have made. To have all of Dad's stories on a DVD - and told by him too - is simply wonderful. It is something we have now for all time. Our children are delighted. One day they'll have kids of their own so this record is a great legacy.
"It really is a beautiful investment - and it's perpetual. And what's more, the production is first rate - there is no way we could have done something like this ourselves.
“John treated my father with the utmost respect…he was incredibly patient and nothing was too much trouble. He quickly developed a rapport with my father and gave him the confidence to speak in a relaxed manner with confidence.
“The result was amazing – a truly professional outcome!”
- Mrs Gaye Wymond, Wheelers Hill
“I cannot believe the result – it is simply terrific. I have four children and nine grandchildren - it’s amazing to think that they will always be able to actually see one of their ancestors talking about life all those years ago.
“Memories fade quickly – even over a couple of generations. My Life, My Journey has captured those memories for me and for my entire family…those who are here now and those who are yet to be born! This is a most wonderful way to keep the memories alive and to celebrate the years. I am so delighted.
“My daughter emailed me from Sydney…she and the family watched it the other day and they’re thrilled beyond belief. They think it’s absolutely wonderful that the family history has been preserved this way.
“All the kids have a copy. I just wish my parents had had the same opportunity so that I could hear their stories as told by them.”
- Mr John Lahey, Camberwell
“I couldn’t believe it when Anatoly and John sent me the finished product. To see my life on something which is every bit as good as Australian Story or Parkinson was simply fantastic.
“Now the family – present and future - are able to see and hear me talk about my growing up years, my old house in the 1920s, school days in the 30s, hobbies, boxing in the 40s, the war years, buying the house, raising a family, holidays, the Masonic Lodge – it’s all there… it’s a wonderful living document. And all the old photographs look sensational on the screen.”
- Mr John Hill, Chadstone
“There are some stories on the Pop’s My Life, My Journey DVD that even I hadn’t heard before! It’s so well done with all the photos…I haven’t got kids yet but at least when they do come along they will get to know their grandfather in a truly unique way.”
- Mr Anthony Wymond, Abbotsford
