Stories, Memories and Thoughts
for Numa
Introduction
We love to hear the stories that people remember from their youth, especially those tales about where they grew up.
Since the best and most interesting history are the reminiscences passed from one person to another, we want to try and record some of them before these little slices of history are lost.
If you have a tale, reminiscence or other thoughts to tell of Numa, about the places you knew when young, we would like to include them here.
If you're interested, we have some Guidelines about the stories that we would like to place here - please see our Story Guidelines.
