This woman has seen an amazing transformation of our world!

She looks as if she could take me out in a heartbeat.

Just think of the stories she could tell. I hope someone has recorded some of them.

Hope she had a great birthday. Sounds like she's in great health for someone of such an advanced age, I hope the good health continues and I wish her many more happy birthdays.

She is 115. Her only child, a daughter, is 76.

She has seen so much. She was 15 when World War I began, about 18 when we joined the fight. She was alive for the Great Depression and World War II. She lived through the Atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. She saw the explosion and decline of the U.S. auto industry in Detroit. She saw the Civil Rights movement and the Cold War, in its entirety. She saw the Berlin Wall go up, and the Berlin Wall go down. She witnessed 9-11. She was there for presidents from Woodrow Wilson to FDR to Truman to Kennedy to Johnson to Nixon to Carter to Reagan to Clinton--and a whole bunch of others in between. And of course, she got to vote for Barack Obama, and finally see a black man become president.

It is amazing that someone has lived through all of that. She must have so much to tell her grandchildren and great grandchildren. And again, she didn't have her only child until 39--very rare back then. But she still has descendants all the way down to a 14 month old great great grandchild. Truly remarkable.
