My mother turns 95 this weekend, and I find it mindboggling to think of all that has transpired in her lifetime.

My best to you grandmother. I understand that completely.

My grandfather remarked to me as we were watching the moon landing that as a kid in the early 1900s to see a car was big deal. Radios did not make it big till the late 1920s and here he was not even 70 years later watching men walk on the moon on the TV!

My grandfather was born in 1906. He told me the same thing.

In his mind, he was born at the best possible time in U.S. history, because he had a strong connection to America's frontier past, and he also witnessed every major technical advance of the twentieth century.
