I had the privilege of meeting a WWI nurse when I lived in NYC. She was in a Veterans Home and we did charity functions there every year. She was amazing, sharp as a tact and flirted with all the "young men" I was there with. She had some pretty interesting stories to tell. Nothing like "living history", nothing like it at all.
