1901 when my grandfather was born. I always thought he lived through an amazing time. He was too young for WW1, too old for WW2, and too poor to notice the Great Depression. Just think of how much changes happened from 1901 - 1989.
Plus he died before all the craziness started.
My grandfather was in the same boat. Born 1904, died in 2000. When I think about the changes the world went through, it's amazing.
