She's going to celebrate her birthday by going fishing.I reckon she could challenge JEanne Calment for oldest person ever.She certainly isn't going to die any time soon !

Guest Guest Posted June 9, 2014 A thread for people who have passed the age of 100 but have (very, very) faint claims to fame other than "just being old". The lifeblood of many a DDP theme team, really, may as well get them all in one place. Plus it gives me an excuse to have a regular meeting point for two of my favourites: 110-year-old paranormal investigator Alexander Imich and 107-year-old financier Irving Kahn, who apparently still goes to work daily. Check out his current stock portfolio here. Anyway, so here's where we can rhapsodise about Run Run Shaw, Roy Douglas and Vo Nguyen Giap and the many public appearances they'll no doubt be making in the near future. One of the leading actors of the pre-blaxploitation era cowboy "race movies", Herb Jeffries, just turned 100. Alexander Imich has died at 111 http://www.nbcnewyor...-262316451.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest ban guests Posted June 9, 2014 Update on Sakari Momoi from Google Translate: "According to the Saitama elderly Welfare Division, currently, Momoi-san has been admitted to hospital in Tokyo. When the person in charge of the city visited the hospital in mid-May, I sat in a chair, Mr. Momoi that spoke for about one hour. In September last year, Hayato Shimizu mayor visited the hospital, I sent a souvenir and letter of congratulations of longevity." http://news.so-net.n.../detail/970195/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
