Banshees Scream 110 Posted August 15, 2006 Lizze Bolden, who once held the crown for World's Oldest Recognized Living Person, and is now in second place (so to speak), turns a grand ol' 116 today! and she didn't even get a mention in the local papers She might be told old to speak. When she talks you just might here a crackling noise? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phantom 2,533 Posted August 17, 2006 ok Lizzie Bolden didn't get a mention in her local papers, but she did get a mention on CBS "Elizabeth Bolden of Memphis wants candy and ice cream today. " I'd have thought Jello, soup and mashed potatoes would be more suitable for her. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Very interesting Phantom, since that's the first she's been heard of since she gained (and then subsequently lost) the World's Oldest title. Sounds like she's doing OK for herself, though you can never tell at that age. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sounds like she's doing OK for herself, though you can never tell at that age. It's sad that she barely got a mention anywhere, even though she's lost the World's Oldest title, she's still the oldest living American. So you would have thought they would at least give her some sort of worth mention. Hopefully she was joined by a fair portion of her family to help her celebrate the day. Although she wasn't seen out in public, so who knows if she's in good health, but at least if she's asking for ice cream and candy, she's still got her head on her shoulders and is aware it was her birthday.

Canadian Paul 97 Posted August 21, 2006 World's fifth oldest dies and Mr. Del Toro, the world's oldest man, turns a grand ol' 116 today! No news reports on the latter though. Not surprising that Ms. Bolden didn't get one then... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phantom 2,533 Posted August 21, 2006 Britain's oldest woman dies aged 111.If Henry Allingham is Britain's oldest man at 110, I would imagine that made her Britain's oldest person. Now that shes dead, Henry may be Britain's oldest living person. Who knows? I believe Annie Knight from Aberdeen is Britain's oldest person at the moment. she turned 111 on June 6th Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phantom 2,533 Posted August 23, 2006 A good and picturesque news report on del Toro's 115th birthday.

maryportfuncity 10,646 Posted August 23, 2006 As babies back then they didn't have to survive extreme summer heat and they were strong enough by winter to get through. I think the main contributer to yer man above's longevity is the fact he never made it to the front line in WW1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Magere Hein 1,400 Posted August 23, 2006 I think the main contributer to yer man above's longevity is the fact he never made it to the front line in WW1. Avoiding the front is always a good survival strategy in times of war, a fact well understood by staff officers. regards, Hein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Octopus of Odstock 2,197 Posted August 27, 2006 Maria Capovilla, the world's oldest person is dead.

Octopus of Odstock 2,197 Posted August 28, 2006 Again? Did Mrs Capovilla overtake her? She was thought the oldest until Capovilla's claims were confirmed a year or so back. Hopes of DDP points are damaged if she is "only" the oldest in the US, not in the world. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VSBfromH 74 Posted August 29, 2006 One link regarding Ms Capovilla's death described her as (having been) the "world's oldest living person", as if to distinguish her from the world's oldest dead person. Depending on your beliefs, that would be that Adam chappie, I presume. Does anyone have a link reporting his death? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
