• A message for the generations.

To you who read, our children,
these are The Grandfather Chronicles.
Heed them,  for no legacy of ours  will serve you so well.

We have seen many wonders created by man. So will you.
However, throughout our long history man has not
learned to live with man.  Always, has man brought
grief to his neighbor.

It is for this, then, that we here set down what we have learned -
behaviors and actions which have worked for us.
It is our desire you may avoid the mistakes we have made
and those which were the pitfalls of our ancestors -
even up to the present day.

Change yourselves.

Learn of us.  Become that which you may.
Man does not have to go through the trials of learning
in each generation.  He alone may learn
from those who have preceded him.
Here is the stuff of life which has worked for us.
May it serve you well.

Peter Lance Segall, New York, NY 1998.

Answer "The Question"

• A place in space and time.

Have you wished you could find answers to life's problems?
And, isn't it true problems you face can not be that unique
[considering the billions upon billions of people
who have lived upon this planet]?

Are we destined to repeat mistakes of the past?
Could there be a place in time and space,
a book, something, that would provide
knowledge of, and access to,
solutions others found?

• This place in space and time

would be a place we can constantly add to,
a place always open and a constantly growing resource
for those living and the generations to follow.

• The legacy has begun!

Our Goals

• Goal One:

Compile as many responses
to the above question as possible
and create a database of this civilization's
best knowledge of the answer to the question,
"What would you tell the next generation?"
Set the first goal as 5,000 responses by June 15, 2001.
Provide for Archival Storage Distributed around the world.

Goal Two:  Create hard cover book(s)
and other products for distribution.

The Future of The Grandfather Chronicles

These chronicles, at their inception, hardly begin to hint
at possibilities and enrichments for the future, perhaps,
the near future. It is easy to imagine many hundreds
of thousands of individuals who will provide chronicles to
enhance the database.  In time, a million,
ten million [or more?] are possible. With a database this
large, the interpretation of every human experience
relating to the question, "What would you tell the next
generation? will be on file for future generations to
access.  We are encouraged these chronicles will add
some measure of acceleration to the learning curve
in the pursuit of happiness future generations will go
through and reduce the pain and suffering associated with
the path of present knowledge.

Good Luck Across the Generations.
