My grandmother was THAT old, when I was born, but she had lived through the sinking of the Lusitania, WWI, THE GREAT DEPRESSION, WWII, and other things too. She, like my mother, loved and knew factual history and so, when I asked for a story, I could just as easily get a fairy tale, a Greek or Roman myth, or even an American Indian one, "family stories" ( which actually IS part of history ), or some factual historical tidbit.

I am keeping journals, for my grandson, so that he gets the FACTS and NOT biased/colored revisionist history!

Oh...and my family has, for generations, saved newspapers from a day/s of grand historical nature. That's a wonderful thing to have, believe you me! :-)
