You mean Sen. Robert KKK Byrd (RAT-VW) isn’t the world’s oldest person?

Prayers for Edna and family. The 100 plus crowd are amazing folks. My own great grandmother lived 101 years.

This nursing home was where Sandy Allen, the world’s tallest woman, died a while back.

When the journalist asked her (last month) to what she attributed her longevity, she replied, “Probably that I gave up tobaccy and hard likker.” He then, asked her when she did that, and she replied, “Oh, about three months ago.”

In all seriousness, though, the lady lived a good long life, and saw things that we can’t even imagine. May she rest in peace.

and became the world's oldest person more than a year ago. . . .

That's usually not a long-held post.

How do we know she was the oldest...did anybody still living actually witness her birth on her alleged birthday?

This just leaves us with Keith Richards now. (Who merely looks like the world's oldest person.)

My grandmother who helped raise me was born in 1888. No planes, no cars, no electricity but she got a teaching degree. She was born the same day as the great blizzard on the east coast but she was born in Indian Territory, now Oklahoma. I feel very blessed to have known someone who was born in that century. Her uncle fought in the Confederate Army. I remember when she watched the first man landing on the moon. She never knew computers or cell phones though. I wonder what there will be when I’m 115.
