Wow - Happy Birthday Grandma!
Can you imagine the things she has seen changed in those years? Mind boggling! She was 6 when women got the right to vote in the USA. She was 14 when Wyatt Earp died. She was 17 when the first commercial record was offered. She was 23 when the Hindenburg disaster happened. She was 25 when the first commercial TV's were sold. (39 for the first color sold) She was 31 when Hitler died. She was 33 when Gandhi died. She was 47 when the first human ever went into space. She was 50 when the 8 track was invented. She was 55 when we landed on the moon. She was 57 when the very first email was sent. She was 63 when Star Wars came out. She was 68 when the internet went online. She was also 68 when the first CD was offered. She was 70 when the first cell phone was offered. She was 72 when the Chernobyl disaster happened. She was 75 when the Berlin wall came down. She was 85 for the Y2K scare. She was 87 when the planes hit the towers. She was 91 when the first video was uploaded to YouTube. She was 93 when the first iPhone went on sale. It's amazing to me the amount of things she saw come into being and then be left by the roadside later for something better. I can't even imagine what else is on that list! She looks fantastic - here is to many more.

So nice to come on hear and read such a beautiful story, Marcus. Thanks for sharing.
I'd sing "Sto lat" but she's already done that, and I've got a terrible voice, so I'll just wish her many more happy birthdays with you and your family.
