One of Dietrich Nissenâs biggest regrets was not having a video recorded of his grandmother recalling the life she lived, despite her impressive storytelling ability.
In 2006, Peggy Nissen had begun experiencing dementia and was diagnosed with Alzheimerâs within the year. Grandson Nissen was devastated â and he didnât want the same to happen to others and their loved ones. So, the third-generation Edina resident and former city employee decided to start a new business, called Inherited Stories, to ensure families didnât miss out on chronicling a family membersâ cherished memories.
And being able to do this for others has been fulfilling to Nissen.
