Earlier today my grandmother Eugenia (Genie) Levi turned 90 years old. She was born in Buffalo, NY, in the year 1919, the same year as the signing of the 19th Amendment (giving women the right to vote), and the Treaty of Versailles (ending World War I). Today she lives in Stevens Point, WI, in a small house on Sunset Avenue. When I was a child I could not pronounce her name correctly, hence the suspiciously familiar nickname. She is my only surviving grandparent. I love her more than words can say.
Other people turning 90 this year include: J.D. Salinger, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Doris Lessing, Pete Seeger, and Andy Rooney,
