re: Camden lady is the oldest living American, and 2nd oldest in the world currently

ok, on a serious note,,, for once..
thinking about this chick is so intriguing!! admittedly, I'm fairly old compared to most of y'all, well, real old, but not in the grand scheme of things. I was visiting with a dear friend about this the other day. I'm pretty countrified and grew up in a very, very rural setting, like carrying my lunch to school in a syrup bucket with a couple biscuits and a sausage or two, 2-3 hour bus rides, partly from distance and partly from getting stuck on the unpaved, muddy arse roads enroute and back from school. So that kind of stuff gave me views back even farther in time, cause we were behind the times.. Ive seen things happen in my life that are amazing, like indoor plumbing for most, air condition, tv's, (yes, black and white tv's), going to the moon (maybe), party line telephones, etc, I could go on for hours.... I am shocked to think of all the inventions and changes that I've been fortunate enough to see, some very good and important, others that we all could do without.
I can't even imagine the mixed feelings that this woman has to have. I only know that I'd give just about anything to be able to sit and talk with her for a couple days.
Her remaining child is 93,,, holy deu deu, unbelievable!!!!
Ok, that's my serious side, guess I'll read the article now..
