Now Here's Someone Who Knows How to Live
An 111-year-old woman from Ohio was able to survive a bout of pneumonia three weeks ago. Mary Margaret Dean-Smith is the 11th oldest person in the United States and the 30th oldest in the world. She no longer walks but her 79-year-old daughter says, "She answers yes or no questions, except for occasional times when she has an urge to talk. Then she talks until she wears herself out and falls asleep." In other words, she's just like any other woman. Source
