Her piano recitals and artwork are often overlooked. She was a genuine Renaissance woman.

(21,675 posts)i'm making an observation here, so bear with me...but i've been noticing that many people of this generation are reaching 90+, something not common in the generation before them. also, the generation after them, the boomers, seem to be dying at YOUNGER ages than their parents. something just doesn't feel right about this, and it makes me think that the boomers, the generation that saw so many many changes in diet, lifestyle, pollution, etc., are bearing the negative brunt of it, not to mention gen x and later...
