Find out how Living Legacy began and meet the couple behind it all.
with a plan to video her parents telling their lifestory. It has included video interviews of musicians from New Zealand and overseas. But it wasn't until her husband, award-winning journalist, Bruce Munro came along, that things really got moving. From Annemarie's original idea, and their shared vision for video biographies preserving priceless stories told by the people themselves, Living Legacy was born.
Living Legacy founders, husband and wife team, Bruce Munro and Annemarie Nelson-Munro, love hearing people tell their life stories. They strongly believe that everyone has a unique story that matters.
Annemarie's own story is full of music. A professional vocalist and keyboard player for more than 30 years, she has wowed audiences with her beautiful voice in New Zealand, Australia, the United Kingdom and the Middle East. She has even taught music to one of Mick Jagger's sons! But despite the fun and excitement of her life, for Annemarie the childhood memories, the friendships through the years and the lessons learnt are just as important.
Bruce spent his first 10 years in Malaysia, the next decade in South Auckland and the past three decades in New Zealand’s best little city, Dunedin. He first started in journalism almost 30 years ago. He has won awards for his writing and photography. These days, he is a senior journalist and a news feature writer with the Otago Daily Times. He also hosts the ODT TV's fortnightly foreign affairs show, Global Insight.
Both Bruce and Annemarie are History graduates of the University of Otago. They look forward to hearing and preserving your story, soon!
