  Whoa. The 911 and USSR ones seem crazy to me.
context: For reference, this woman was:
  - 6 years old when World War One began
  - 21 years old when the stock market crashed
  - 32 years old when WW2 began in Europe and 35 when the US entered
  - 42 years old when the Korean War began
  - 59 years old during the Summer of Love
  - 61 years old when the first moon landing occurred
  - 67 years old when Saigon fell to the North Vietnamese
  - 73 years old (by three days) when Reagan was elected president
  - 82 years old (by two days) when the Berlin Wall fell
  - 84 years old when the USSR ceased to exist
  - 93 years old on 9/11
  - 100 years old when Barack Obama was elected president  
  Needless to say, it's hard to even imagine the level of change she experienced over the course of her life.
