Who would you have narrate your life??

[Ivan the Butcher]

In the science fiction novel, Enders Game, Orson Scott Card introduces the concept of “speaker for the dead”.

This is a professional that is hired after someone’s death. The speaker interviews family, friends, neighbors, coworkers, business associates and even enemies.

The speaker compiles a full and honest summary of this persons life and presents it in an unbiased eulogy.

Interesting idea. One not likely to catch on.

I think that's a great idea! I won't have to take any of the fallout!

There is a group of us that went to school together and hung around each other for the last 50 years. Some of them will be speaking. I've laid down the law: NO HOLDING BACK!

George S Patton

George C. Scott would be better. Gen. Patton didn’t have a really good voice.

It would be a toss up between Isabel May who played Elsa Dutton, and narrated 1883, or Rusty.

If you've ever talked to him, you'd know why.

Carl Sagan: "If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken."

He's already told it Joe
