For curious context...

She was twenty when when World War One ended. In her late forties when World War Two ended. In her fifties during Ike's administration. A senior citizen when Kennedy was assassinated. Seventy-seven when the Vietnam war ended. In her eighties during Reagan's terms. Ninety-six when the internet took off. One hundred and three when the World Trade Center was taken down.

I am in awe of the history she has lived through.
