I'd love to live to be that old just to see their reaction when they ask what I attribute living long to, to which I'd reply drinking 12 ouncers and smoking two packs a day. Willard Scott would start growing hair on his head again I'm sure. I'm also pretty sure it won't happen but it's nice to think about.

Think about all the things she could tell you. It would be so cool to sit down with her and get her opinions on how things have progressed and her views of the country. :flowers:
