Hi Barry,

It's good advice.  If your uncle doesn't want to write his story, perhaps
you need to interview him (& record it with his permission).  It's often
easier for older people to "chat" rather than write.  You will also have a
recording of his voice.
I did the subject of  "Oral History" in the Dip. of Family History (UTAS)
and the assignment was recording an interview of a relative.  I interviewed
my 93 year old aunt, and learnt so much from what she told me - and I
enjoyed the funny anecdotes - lots of laughter!  It was a lovely experience
if nothing else.

Regards
Elizabeth
