My mom was 97 and my dad was 94, born in 1901, when they passed. I have four sisters, Oldest is 90, 87' 85 and 83 in that order. All doing well. Good genes in my family, I guess.

I have a neighbor that is right at the 100 mark, and his driving is scary, but he is doing well....just can't hear! If you ain't healthy, getting old really sucks, but if healthy it is a blessing!

I bet I have the record. My father was adopted by my grandparents when they were in their early 60's. My grandfather lived til about 95 years old and was born in Denmark in 1865 and immigrated to this country in early 1880's. He was a well known woodworker around the Storm Lake, Ia, area in the first half of the 20th century. I still have and use his wood lathe.

My neighbor Howard Dean lived to 105. He was featured on good morning america before he passed. Most of my neighbors make it to around 100.

A distant cousin who lived to be 103,she died in the mid '80's.She was born on a homestead here in the U.P. and followed her husband when he was a wood worker moving from logging camp to camp.When she was on her deathbed the minister asked her if she remembered anything from her childhood,and she told him she could remember it all like it happened yesterday.I always remember that.It shows you how short life really is.

My grandma in eastern Montana died at 93 after smoking two packs of Lucky Strike shorts and a 6 pack of Oly every day. My mother in law here made it to 97 and her sister is 100 and still has her wits.

I knew a old woman. That lived to be 101 but she died two short of her 102 birthday. She never took medicine in her life . Once she was in the hospital , she made the nurses and doctors mad because she wouldn't take medicine ,they asked her why , she would pick up her old bible and say Jesus is my medicine. She lived too , she never had a mean bone in her body. She had all 5 sons serve in WWII , all 5 sons came home , they all saw action.

My Grandma was 99.5 never took any pills.

My great granny was 102 . Used that old brown powder snuff up until one week before she passed.

Oldest I knew the age of would be my maternal Grandmother who made 96. She saw 3 changes in currency in Ireland when your money becomes worthless if you don't trade it in. I saw the change with her from no electricity or running water to both of those things being on the farm. Never a car owned or a trip on a train or airplane. The only things that used gas or oil on their place were the lanterns and the stove. The (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) cart or yourself was everything else. Hay cut by scythe and the rakes were all wood. The whole place was covered with snares to combat the foxes who ate her beloved hens. She was tough as nails, carried bags of turf into her eighties. My Grandpa had a heart attack that sidelined him.

I think what got her so many years was her habit of walking two miles every night. She carried a stick for the dogs that would come after you on those rural boreens. I can still remember her old dresses and broken shoes when she would be trying to hand my mom a huge roll of cash she thought we needed, my mom saying no thanks and trying to explain we were doing fine in America and that she should save a little bit less and maybe buy some new shoes.

We have seen a lot of change but I think the change that that generation saw might have been more abrupt.

1865! Dang

Had an Aunt that made it to 100. Three days later she died, I think it was her last goal.
