In 1910, only 1/3 of all American children enrolled in Elementary school. In 1910 the male life expectancy was 51. In 1910, the first suffrage parade was held. In 1910, Morris, my great grandpa was born. Morris just recently passed away, less than a month shy of his 100th birthday, but I'm pretty sure that he is OK with that. He had the chance to go to college at a time when only 10% of kids graduated highschool. He lived through both world wars, ragtime, the prohibition, the evolution of film, and the invention of the model T ford. He read about the titanic real time in the newspaper, then saw the movie as an adult. His life was damn full and did 50 situps and 10 pushups every morning until the very end.
