That is great.  My M.I.L. is approaching her 100th birthday.  She is far 
sharper than I am, although my friends would point out that is true for 
almost everyone on the planet.  She enjoyed photography and has a large 
number of 120 and 35mm b&w negs that I am scanning. Looking back, I wish 
I had not been too busy to pump my parents and grandparents for more 
information - they led very interesting lives, like your mom.
