I wonder what it is going to look like in the future, we look back and say this person lived a certain place or 'was' something like a career. I don't see my generation and younger staying in one place or doing one job as much. Maybe there are more than I think, I work with a lot of families that have been in a part of Denver for generations, and do the same work?
I am all for digging in on the dead people! Still leave me out until I am at last 90
We just had a parallel issue come up - about a month ago we attended the memorial service for dh grandfather. Apparently dh mom (the genealogy nut) put a tape recorder under the podium (without telling anyone) recorded the entire service, and has turns robed it for inclusion with the family genealogy. We know this because she just e-mailed the entire family notifying them and offering copied.
dh, who spoke off the cuff and from the heart, is really angry.
In Pennsylvania, it is a wiretap and a felony. I served more than one piece of humble pie to politicians and so called leaders of the community who abused this.Originally Posted by Chicken lady
And I was going to answer in the opposite view, saying that one should expect any public church/memorial/wedding service these days to be recorded. Most are. Hmmm ... Is it wiretapping if a church records their services without explicitly informing everyone each time they meet?
That is tricky, i can see kinda both. There was a tragic death in our department, our nurse was killed in a car accident in fall. She was so well loved that we were all devastated. I was not able to make it to the services so I wrote a longer facebook post on her facebook page. I heard from a friend at work that they read it at the services. I was so happy it was used and since I posted it on FB I felt it was public. However if I had just showed up and talked I may not feel the same way, I would have wanted to written down what I was going to say or otherwise make sure it was publishable.
well, the relationship isn't badmouthing to charge her with wiretapping. And it was Maryland.
but it was also a small, private service. The person speaking could clearly see the expression on the faces listening. The sort of thing you might say in a small group setting at an emotional time are a lot different than the sort of things you might put in prepared remarks for an unknown audience or post on Facebook.
