[I still care]

I would love so to spend an hour with her, asking her questions about growing up in NYC at the turn of the century...There are so few left with these memories.

Here childhood memories are about 1910. Can you imagine?

The triangle factory fire for one...

I could care less about NYC, but I agree her perspective is unique....from not much after the birth of manual typewriters to cell phones with orders of magnitude more computing power than the moon landing.

From airplanes being interesting sideshows to space shuttles.

And common disease (or minor injury) being terminal, to modern medicine.

Of course, it also went from self-reliance to “cradle-to-grave” welfare, so it’s not all good.
