She was driving at 8, not unusual for rural children in those days. Today, children that age are barely potty trained. We are devolving.

I know her key to longevity - she didn’t grow up having the gov’t telling her what she couldn’t do. Driver license at 12 years old!

Great story - she’s looking good and so is her car!

She is also a Life Time Member of Second Amendment Sisters! She packs, and we hear she is a good shot!

“I’m ready for my close up, Mr. DeMille.”

(Neither fair, nor appropriate, I agree. For one thing Norma Desmond was only 50 and she did very little to keep up the car.)
