You may add more stories, if you have them. Add at least one short "found" paragraph that describes this place in a way you disagree with, or know to be untrue. Include source. One place to look: Totness/Dartington Site History http://www.devonperspectives.co.uk/index.html

Write a short blurb about the project to use in an email announcement of the project.

"If you move around all your life, you can't find where you come from on a map. All those places where you lived are just that: places. You don't come from any of them; you come from a series of events. And those are mapped in memory. Contingent, precarious events, without the counterpane of place to muffle the knowledge of how unlikely we are. Almost not born at every turn. Without a place, events slow-tumbling through time become your roots. Stories shading into one another. You come from a plane crash. From a war that brought your parents together."
