It's so cool that she's lucid. You can find out so much about how the world has changed from someone like that.
I know a 102 year old who wrote her autobiography a couple years ago and it is so fascinating. One thing that stood out to my wife and I (I was reading it aloud to her and the children) is how trusting they were of the government and official news sources. For example during World War II most war news came through newsreels on the big screen. Imagine trusting Hollywood to provide accurate news stories today. Nobody would trust them. Overall, it was just a higher trust society back then.
