I mean, this woman can actually remember being an adult discussing the American entry in to World War I. I spend most of my free time studying World War I these days, and that's just incredible to me. She was 18 turning 19 in April 1917 and had turned 20 when the war ended. She was turning 21 when the Treaty of Versailles was signed in Paris in June 1919.

She was an adult worried about the Spanish Flu.

Amazing.
