My dad survived the 1918 flu, and would be 97, also, if he was still here. He did make it to 87, though.

My late mother, who died at almost 95, had also contracted the flu during the pandemic. She was born in 1912 and was to go to start first grade that fall, but all of the schools were closed because of the outbreak.
