My grandmother-in-law (I don't think there is such a title but there should be its very descriptive) celebrates her 90th birthday this week. She and I have set up times for me to interview her about her life stories, acomplishments, and other various things that she recalls.

What I have found works the best is is giving her a context and letting her go to town filling in her piece of the pie as to what her role to that was.

I have been trying to find a list of major events of the past 100 years some where on the internet and I'm meeting with stiff resistance. I sure if I sat down and thought about it I could make one my self, but I don't see a need to reinvent the wheel if its already out there.

A lot of the events I have now are all depression, WWII, what it was like in the cold war era and so on. Well I think all these things are depressing didn't any good milestones of the human race occur and I just missed them. Any input you may have I would be very thankful for,
