Paul and all...
My grandmother died about two years ago at the tender age of 97...
In her lifetime she saw all that you listed and could reemember a time
when horses were the primary mode of powered transportation, and flying was
literally for the birds. In HER life time she saw men go from there to
walking on another world... With two world conflicts, the dissolution of
colonial world powers among all that you mentioned, and the fact that I can
converse with you, a friend on the other side of the world instantaneously
and for the cost of a local telephone call, indeed, we do live in
astonishing times...
