Whenever we at the Rochester Historical Society write an article, mount a display, or put a program we rely on the memoirs, diaries, letters, and books that were written in the past. Now that we have spent over four months with this pandemic, I wonder where the residents in 2070 or 2120 will get their information about living through the pandemic of 2020.
We would love to have as many people who can, to write something about how life has been over the last few months. It can be a paragraph or many pages. Maybe write about the biggest changes or fears and concerns or strategies for coping or maybe the worst and the best (if any) of living through this historic time. We’re not looking for a journal (unless you want to send us one). You can email your writing to eshbach2@aol.com or mail it to: Rochester Historical Society, P.O. Box 322, Rochester, MA 02770
