Was just thinking of something that might be fun to try: Barbara Heck died 200 years ago in 1804, Now here is where imagination comes in, What do You think she would think of the world today? Let's have some fun and give us some thoughts on this. Judy

Washing machines would be what I would want my great-great grandmother to look at right away! Then the irons, stoves, refrigerators. I think automobiles would scare the bloomers off them, but then again, mine did smoke a pipe. Regards, Marilyn A.

I think she'd be displeased with the moral state of the world, as she was deeply devout. She would probably be pleased and flattered, however, at how much the Methodist church has grown and thrived. -----Original Message----- From: Judy Lyn [mailto:judylyn@gosympatico.ca] Sent: Friday, May 21, 2004 2:34 PM To: IRL-PALATINE-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [IP] Barbara Heck Was just thinking of something that might be fun to try: Barbara Heck died 200 years ago in 1804, Now here is where imagination comes in, What do You think she would think of the world today?

Hypothetically, if she was transported from the past, I suppose it would depend on how old she was. If she was transported as a younger person (teenager or early 20s) then I think, coming from good immigrant stock, that she would probably adapt well! If she was transported as a slightly older person, one that had had the chance to settle into the routines of life, then I think the pace of life (as accelerated by technology) would be what would amaze her.
