Rode bikes until the age of 107/108, what a legend.

From 1911 left are Renée Simonot, Marita Quiros and Eileen Ash. Ash seems to still be in a pretty good condition, Quiros was holding a therapy doll in the last photo of her. Can't find new pictures of Simonot.

 

Still a stronger year (atleast has a larger amount of famous centenarians alive) than 1912 and 1913. 1912 has Dagny Carlsson, the Swedish blogger and Jessie Lichauco, American/Filipino philanthropist.

1913 is an men's only club with journalist Vance Trimble and holocaust survivior/writer Boris Pahor.

I suggest that 1904 is stronger.

 

I don't want to be rude, sorry

Do you think that 1904 can outlive 1913? I think your opinion is important.

Time for a random name of interest from my longlist:

Abd-Al-Minaam Khaleel (wiki), Egyptian Army general who was in command of the Second Army during the Yom Kippur War of 1973.

He turned 100 on April 1st. Here's a video of him on the occasion. He looks healthy and gives a long speech at an event marking the occasion. Could be around for a while yet.

 

They're coming outta the goddamn walls!

Britain's oldest prisoner, Ralph Clarke is due to turn 106 in March. He was sentenced to 13 years in prison in December 2016 for historical child sex offences.

 

The last articles about him are from October 2019, but assuming he hasn't croaked it - I'm wondering, will the sick bastard hold on until 2023 for his parole?

 

This tweet from the CEO of the Howard League for Penal Reform implies that he died off the radar back in February..

Just 13 days ago he was bragging to every Indian news outlet about how he had just defeated COVID.

He was also a post mortem DDP pick last year: http://www.derbydeadpool.co.uk/deadpool2020/celebs_Y.html#yxemea (In fact, he was picked six times but not in 2013.)

Pierre Parsus is one person I'm hoping will see 100. In this case it'll be on 6th of June 2021.

Interesting artist, was still signing autographs in January 2020. Looked a bit like an overweight Boris Johnson when he was a bit younger.

I assume he has now joined the 100 club, but haven't seen found any confirmation yet.

Also, here's a picture of a young Parsus

German Architect Gottfried Böhm who designed many churches, museums, and civic centers in Germany, died at 101 years:

He was passionate about urban planning, and his buildings included the St. Columba Church in Cologne, the Pilgrimage Church in Neviges, and the Bensburg Town Hall in Germany.

[gcreptile 10,978]

Never heard of him outside of this forum, but he won the Pritzker Prize, the Nobel Prize for architects. So he should get the broadsheet obits.
