Myriad stories of the McLaughlin family
Countless stories. In every life, there are countless stories. And our family currently has...geez, I can't count that high!
Within our stories reside treasures beyond measure, just waiting to be discovered...or rediscovered. Treasures we can unearth and use to serve one another, to heal each other, our family, our communities, our world.
So, we're doing lots of things formally to gather our stories, for ourselves and for members of our family who are not here yet!
On this page, we're gathering those stories, in various formats: video, photos with captions, written tales, and perhaps others.
In 2013, we collected favorite stories about and memories of each other. To see that powerful collection, click here.
In 2014, we collected favorite photos and wrote captions to tease out the stories. To see that beautiful collection, click here.
In July 2024, many of us gathered at Telios Farm for the McLaughlin Family Legacy Project Experience. This is the picture book that commemorates our day.
