We have stories to tell

A semicircle of relatives often forms around Liz Liesener at family gatherings.

They want to listen to her tell a story, and the Belgium resident loves spinning tales.         

“It’s something we used to do growing up. All the meals were around the big table. Even after the meals were done you stayed around the table telling stories,” Liz said.

Her daughter Katie took to storytelling as well, so much so that she became president of Massmouth, a Boston-based nonprofit storytelling organization.
