Ada's Life Continued.....

After reading my post about Ada turning 98, Rick didn't think I represented how impressive that was.

Of course 17 presidents and 2 world wars are impressive but.....

She was born only 45 years after the CIVIL WAR

She has witnessed

the transition from book to radio to television to internet
the rise and fall of the soviet union
the rise and fall of the mobsters
the beginning and end of prohibition
The Great Depression
the transition from horses to cars
the korean war
the vietnam war
space travel
The great speeches and death of Martin Luther King
The rise and fall of the berlin wall
and sadly the death of two of her children

the electric air conditioner and electric refridgerator were both invented in her life time.

And she's still going strong!
