Legacy Letters Introduction (FREE)
with Jerry Nulton

This class is free to members of South Coast Senior College and members of Wells Ogunquit Senior Center. It is an overview of a 6 week class that will be presented on ZOOM starting October 27
A Legacy Letter is a message to family or friends. There’s no formula. It can be any of thefollowing:
• An expression of gratitude, a compliment or encouragement
• A wish for their future
• One or more life lesson(s) you’d like to share
• A request for forgiveness or an attempt to make amends
• A tradition you’d like to pass along
• An important memory that means a great deal to you
• To offer comfort and perspective
Your Instructor: Jerry Nulton
I’ve lived a charmed life. I was taught by my mother to value an education and was taught by my father that hard work was the best path to success. I earned a double major from the University of Scranton in Pennsylvania, the first is a degree in Philosophy which I loved and the second a degree in Computer Science which I used to earn a living. I’ve worked in sales, marketing and training for most of the past 30 years. I have trained Partners in the accounting firm of Pricewaterhouse Coopers (PwC) in sales in the UK, Ireland and the US for the past 20 years and am currently helping them negotiate their agreements with their clients. I’m happily married to my lovely wife of 33 years; I’ve been a resident of Maine for the past 22 and I’m an avid sailor with a J-28 sailboat in Falmouth.
So, how did I get into legacy letters? Though we don’t have children, my wife and I have been saving money for our grand-niece and grand-nephews. But I realized, that giving them money without wisdom is like giving a loaded gun to a toddler. So I looked for a way to put the money into a framework that would help them understand me better and hopefully give them a path to a better life. That’s how I found legacy letters. I can’t possibly hope to match the life experience that any potential participants would have, so I’m hopeful that I can learn from you while I share a tool you can use to influence the lives of your family and friends.
