Every other thread on here seems to be about people who are over 100 years old.

Mostly because the Immortals thread, 100 Club and World's Oldest are very active threads. And there are a lot of centenarian-focused pools.

Gail Halvorsen dead.

 

Six remaining from the ones in the vote options:

 

Josip Manolic - Indestructible, survived covid and mild pneumonia a year ago without getting hospitalised.

Ben Ferencz - Still works, reported that he "was answering over 100 emails a day" in November 2021.

John Cruickshank - Not really sure about how he's doing.

Kenneth McAlpine - Too ill to be interviewed for a documentary over two years ago!

Roger Angell - Was in good condition on his 101st.

Leonid Shvartsman - Could still walk around his 100th. Not sure how he's doing now.

Thank Goodness for reading the comments before voting. After that revelation, I have voted Ferencz, but I think it shall be close between him and Manolić.

 

Angell died in May also, as mentioned elsewhere.
