[Leica] IMG: My Mother the Veteran

[Ken Carney]

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.

This former special education teacher turned 94 in July and she is still learning, viewing Great Courses DVDs on Winston Churchill, History of Jazz, and other topics, and goes through crossword puzzle books like crazy.
