Wonderful list! Let's not forget Edith Eger. She is 96 years old, a Hungarian-born American, a Holocaust survivor (she was 16 years old when she was sent to Auschwitz), and an internationally celebrated psychologist and author who has devoted her life to helping heal people's traumas. I highly recommend her book, “The Choice: Embrace the Possible."
Grandma from Romania was born 1900, came to Canada, lived to be 98 and had 9 kids and over 50 grandchildren, over 25 great grandchildren and many great greats at this point. My mom, her daughter, lived to be only 72. She pushed alot, worked to send all her kids through college, and her job was in a metals factory, so I think the environment was a bit toxic as well. What I think killed her young was yearly flu shots, now. I at least am near 60, but it remains to be seen, how long I make it.
Good read. I am 67 and have been a lifelong runner. Developed a bone bruise on my left knee during the reset and did not receive much care. Had to stop running. The folks back in the 80s said running would ruin your knees. 40 years latter it did. I had hoped to run a 1000 miles a year up to 70. But I am now walking about 15-20 a week, 15-16 minute pace. Still moving, still reading, still thinking. And I will tell you at times, back in the day 50-60 miles a week was killer in more ways that one. And at 67 that makes me middle-aged.
Will the younger generation achieve this level of excellence? Just the other evening, my husband and I went out to dinner. He ordered a soup for himself to start, and an appetizer for me. Two minutes later, the young waitress comes back to the table with a soup spoon and asks, "Who's having the soup?"
