Thanks to all who provided advice about self publishing, to be forwarded to elderly alumni writing their memoirs. Here's a summary of your collective wisdom, in case anyone else is interested:

o    Two people recommended   Blurb - Make your own book     http://www.blurb.com/.
o    Two people recommended Lightning Source Inc.   www.lightningsource.com<http://www.lightningsource.com/>  Gayle Cantrell  |   Sales Representative  |  Lightning Source  gayle.cantrell at lightningsource.com<mailto:gayle.cantrell at lightningsource.com>   800-378-5508 x34691
o    Create Space https://www.createspace.com/  is an Amazon.com<http://Amazon.com/> company and it allows authors to sell their books on Amazon relatively easily.
o    At http://www2.xlibris.com/ ,  you can get a live person to assist with book projects.
o    Lucy Sholley ( lucindasholley at gmail.com<mailto:lucindasholley at gmail.com>) started a business that does exactly this--works with people to write and self-publish their memoirs. An article about her first book and her process can be seen at this link: http://www.feltandwire.com/2012/04/04/mutti-makes-a-memoir/.
o    I would recommend taking a look at what Greyden Press has to offer. http://www.greydenpress.com/
