Horrido!

It may be worthwhile to check in with the family if indeed the notes have been destroyed. Apart from the potential market value (also an incentive if you are not personally interested) any well written memoir is worth the effort to preserve and if possible put in print.

If the familiy did destroy the memoir, than by all means they are not worth the dirt they walk on. Not from the point of respect for family history nor from a more broad historical perspective. They are also too dumb to realize that even when they cut any painful passage, it is still worth MONEY to them.

Sorry Don, but this really makes me angry.
