I tell people when they talk to me they're talking to a Spanish-American War veteran.
Last spring I met a 100 year old lady. She was born when Harding was President.

The oldest person (a woman) whose age at death has been reliably documented was a little over 122 years. She died in the late 1990s. There are numerous claims of some humans living beyond that age, but they lack reliable documented evidence.
I have a dog that turned 20 in December. That roughly translates into about 115 human years. She looks it. Blind, deaf, and no bladder control. Despite that she still has an appetite and seems relatively healthy.

Our next door neighbor's Mom will be 101 next month. I talk to her almost every day.
My neighbor/friend from growing up at our lake house will be 99 years old on Monday. She’s remarkable! This woman hunted, fished, and rode motorcycles and snowmobiles. She still drives, plants a garden every Spring, and goes down and swims in the lake each day in the Summer.
She’s always had a lot of energy, a very bright and positive personality, engaged with the community, and has a strong faith in God. She never drank or smoked. Hopefully she’ll be around for a long time still, I love her very much… Funny, looking back when I was a little kid I remember thinking that she was old! Ha!
Also, back in the early 1990s, I had a customer that was a World War 1 veteran. Nice guy, he fought in France. I think he was in his mid 90s at the time, and he was in good shape.

My wife's dad is 96 and a half. A WWII veteran and retired Mechanical Engineer. His hearing is shot from decades of competitive shooting and he has macular degeneration. other than that he's still on the ball.
Anytime I see a WWII, or Korean War, veteran wearing a hat indicating such. I thank them, but try not to impose on what time they have with their friends or family they are with.

I just finished treating a patient who is 102. The oldest patient I've had was 106 and still had a head full of good wiring.
Lots of great stories in these old timers.
I had one fellow who was pushing 100 a few years ago who had been a radio operator/navigator on supply planes during WW2. His claim to fame was that he was shot down on 08MAY45, the last day of the war!

Years ago I remember reading that the oldest living male was 109 years old and died while working on his tile roof, evidently from a fall. He lived in rural Mexico. There are a group of Slavic people from one of the interior locations that all live over 100 years, at the time the only thing truly different about their lifestyle was diet, they ate radishes daily. You can put radishes up just like sauerkraut or Kimchee eating it through the winter months.

Grandmother on my Mom's side lived to be 106. Lived long enough to watch the Red Sox win two World Series. Which, back in Boston and at the time, was considered quite the thing.
I met the grandmother of my wife's aunt(by marriage) at a funeral. She was 102. She was witty, spoke with no hesitation whatsoever on many topics, and was essentially one of the liveliest persons there. She had driven herself to the funeral(at night) and walked without a cane or walker. The funeral was her son's who had passed away from an age related illness.

My wife and I were at the DMV in New Bern NC waiting to get our NC DL after moving from AZ when an elderly man being led by his elderly daughter sat down next to us. He was there to renew his DL even though he hadn't "driven for ages". He got it too.

My mom made it to 93. She and her family were in a Japanese internment camp in Indonesia (they were Dutch) for 4 years. Today would have been her 100th birthday.
She never talked about her camp experiences, but she was 16-20 years old. I can only imagine..

I had a great uncle that was born in 1880 and died in 1978 and had his mind until the minute he died. I was born in 1941 so I got to talk to him a lot.
I had an aunt born in 1917 that lived to be 100. She said all you had to do to get to be 100 was just get up every morning. Larry

I saw an old customer of mine a week or so back and asked him how his Dad was. I was hesitant to considering his age. He replied his Dad was doing good. Still cuts his own grass and still drives. He says he doesn’t like the fact he can’t get under his truck like he used to. His Dad is 98.

That would be my Great Aunt on my Mother's side. She passed at 106. When I got my electrician's license, she asked me to do some work for her...install a 15 Amp service in her barn so the chickens would have light in order to lay more eggs and a water trough heater to keep their water from freezing in the Winter.
Second oldest would be my Mom. She passed two months short of 105. Woke up on the morning of her passing, had her cup of coffee, said goodbye to everyone, went to sleep, and left this world.
