What Would You Ask a 100 Year Old Woman? - 04/26/14 09:43 PM
I just read an interesting article written by a college student. The author was reporting on a presentation made by a 101 year old woman to a gerontology class.
It's an interesting article, and I've shared the link above. Back when I was in grad school is when I became interested in gerontology, and actually did my MS thesis interviewing 100 women who I lovingly referred to as "my little old ladies."
But I never got the chance to interview anyone that old.
So I'm just curious, as we're all a bit older than the typical college student, what would we have asked "Dorothy" if we'd had a chance to listen to her?
What would you like to know?
(And by the way, she looks a lot like my Grandma Gertrude, who lived well into her 90s.)
