My mother was one of the veterans honored at her retirement home today.  She 
was a pre-flight instructor as a WAVE in the U.S. Navy during World War II, 
and is still remarkable. 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.

BTW, when I showed her this shot on the LCD, she didn't like it. (!)


But I do.
