In the end we will all end up a name, a spot on a family tree. Your place on your family tree is already determined. What has yet to be decided is what story people you have not met will tell when someone says " tell me about great grandpa".
That is the story you are writing right now, and non participation is not an option. You will have a story of some kind, it's up to you what kind of life they will describe.

My mom's dad was 65 when she was born. He was pretty famous earlier in his life for his bloodhounds which he used for tracking criminals. Later in life he had a fondness for alcohol. He once caught an ex-wife with another man and apparently chased the guy through town with a shotgun. But the part I did not know until last night, the part that really connected me on some level was that he loved baseball and would sit by the radio (he was in ill health) and he would listen to every game.
