My Gaga ( great grand mother ) turned 100 this month. How amazing is that! It's just unfathomable. So to help me grasp what it could mean to reach 100, I created this timeline with a few major historic events that Gaga lived through. Bertha Vaughn Brown was born Dec 24, 1910 in Greensboro Kentucky. She has lived during the times of: The sinking of the Titanic, End of WW1, Womens Liberation Movement, Stock Exchange Crash & the Great Depression.
She was around when a dozen eggs cost 12 cents, the start of WW2, the day Nuclear weaponry was dropped on Hiroshima & Nagasaki. She was there during the Civil Rights Movement, 1st man on the moon, the end of the Vietnam War, Here During 9/11 and around to see America elect it's 1st African American President.

I love the graphic you use for the woman. It's so stylish and fun.
Amazing stuff!
Amazing! Congratulations to Gaga! Your summary is very vivid, what a life!
Wow! Congratulations to you and your grandma! She's certainly lived through what seems an extraordinarily busy century, there are so many other huge things that happened in those hundred years; the cold war for one, it's be hard to fit them in any timeline. It's a lovely design though.
I love this post Christian, its beautiful.

i hope that you will live to be 100 or more, and that you document everything throughout the decades with that gift of yours. there will be great picture books of your life's work. i'm sure.
Thanks to everyone for wishing my Gaga well, and for the deeply appreciated kind comments!

Thats extremely kind of you to say. it will also be nice to be around so long so that i can see the progression of your works and be the 1st in line at your Solo Exhibit at MOMA NY.
Awww! She's just like my great aunt:)
So amazing that your Grandma lived through all of that. I had no idea that she was that old, your younger than me and my grandma is only in her 70's.
