"The most influential adult in my young life was my Grandfather. In considering Family Record I became aware of how much I would now value a Family Record recording with my Grandfather and that motivated me to do it for my children and future generations.
The "Family Record" interview has allowed me to ensure my family and my descendants understand how important they are too me. I also found the process most enjoyable."

– Chairman, John Marshall Investments
“We are so fortunate to have made the decision to proceed immediately as we now have an extraordinary record of my father's life, as you know we lost him only 10 weeks after concluding the filming.
The way you handled my parents was very skilful, being able to extract from them so much information with sensitivity and humour, and as result we have achieved a wonderful end product and we now have for many generations to come a record of highlights from both my parents’ lives.”
Peter Ivany
– Chairman & CEO, Ivany Investment Group
"I know how I would have valued the opportunity to hear the life stories of my ancestors in their own words. I found the experience to be comprehensive, professional and personally rewarding."

“Having just watched my Mother's Record I'd like to add one more observation to Stead's comments. You, personally have a real gift for drawing out your subjects. Watching my mother's was like unwrapping a gift with many layers of paper. Your skills made that happen.”
Eric Dodd
– MD & CEO, MBF Australia Limited
“When Sheryl first approached me about Family Record I hesitated, wondering whether it was an immodest thing to do. Then I realised what a gift it would be……..to have such a record with my Mother and Father – so I agreed.”
“Most importantly it has brought joy and togetherness to our family.”
Ian Joye
“Our family is very pleased with the DVD record that your team compiled on my 92-year-old mother Muriel.
We thought that the interview was particularly appropriate – Bill’s questions were focused on Muriel’s past and this is the area of particular interest to our family and future generations - her childhood memories, education and remembrances of her parents.
We would have no hesitation in recommending your Family Record – “Family Record” to our associates and friends.”
Frank Devine
– Columnist, The Australian
" I was a bit self-conscious about my DVD memoirs at first. Watching and hearing my monologue seemed like an ornately choreographed version of talking to myself. Then my wife and daughters said how wonderful it was to hear and see me reflecting on my life and recounting some of its adventures. I have six grandchildren and thought how stunning it would be if they liked it, too, decades down the track"
Miranda Devine
– Columnist, SMH & Sun Herald
(daughter of Frank Devine)
"The interview with my father will be a treasured possession in our family for generations to come. It confirmed for us what is most important to him - his family and his faith. But there were also interesting revelations about his childhood. And it gave him a chance to outline how he would like to be remembered". |
