Oral Keeper
What It Points To
Section titled “What It Points To”Certain people keep a group’s memory alive by telling it well. They are not reciting a script; they change the surface so listeners stay with the story, while the main thread stays true. You’d notice this in the cousin who tells the same family story at every gathering and always adds the detail the quiet person missed.
