Time we added academic and neurolopsychologist Brenda Milner to this thread

 

Celebrated the ton a few days ago with thirty friends around and suggested she intends to continue the teaching and research she's still  doing. Made no comment on her q/o chances but a swift Google suggests they're strong.

Pianist and accordion player Joe Vento, who has played with Sinatra et al, just turned 100. A milestone he's very lucky to reach - particularly as he's now suffering from pancreatic cancer.

Extremely popular pick around these parts, Mr. Joe Vento, FINALLY has some sort of update.
According to this publication's 'best photos of the week' section, Joe Vento, 100, was recognized as citizen of the month, during a city council meeting at Las Vegas City Hall in Las Vegas, Wednesday, Aug. 1, 2018.
So he's alive and kicking in Vegas.  In a wheelchair though.

Hi David,
Thank you for your message. You forgot at least one relevant person. Tomorrow the american mathematician Katherine Johnson will join the 100-club. for my taste a very important and at the same time underestimated personality:

I certainly will not beat my personal record from last year (17 goals). but it should be enough to beat the official deathlist here again.

Good luck to you and nice weekend greetings
