   Why keep a diary...

   One of my few prized possessions is this 70-page autobiographical book by my great-grandfather who was born in 1902 and was a farmer in France. Only a few copies were printed.

   His chapter titles are truly amazing, each is about 1-2 pages:

   - I saw the beginning of electrification
   - I saw the first cars
   - I saw the first airplanes
   - I smoked my first cigarette at 7 years old
   - I saw a total solar eclipse
   - The telephone
   - 1914: The war
   - I had the Spanish flu

   etc
