They were in their 40's during WWII.

Unless medical science comes a long way on quality in the next 50 years, I don't want to be within 20 years of that mark.
Heck, I think late 80s/early 90s would be pushing it and I had a number of relatives that made it that far in relatively good health.
I would take a great 75 or 80 over a miserable 115 all day, every day.

Wonder when was the last time she had one rubbed off.

just imagine all of the things they have seen! Probably the greatest leap forward in technology in the history of man kind!

What gets me is that most of them have probably outlived anyone very close to them.
Their children are probably in their 80s or 90s and most of them are likely deceased by now, just from old age.

In their 30's during the depression.

aren't there a few more than that?
technically, 1900 is the last year of the 19th century. but no one born in 1900 was on the list.

Can you imagine making it to your 90's and your mom is still alive?

She and her husband had four children, all of whom have died except for a son, now in his 90s.

My GiL is 101. Still very spritely, lives on her own and drives.
Made it through prohibition and both WWs.
She is still very with it even if she can't hear a thing. When we're cracking jokes she just laughs with the rest of us.

Wonder if there still waiting for the south to rise.

Longevity in life spans is only going to get bigger now with the incredible gains being made in medical sciences and technologies and our life expectancy exploding.
Some scientists and doctors estimate that the first 150 year old or even 200 year old will be/is born between 2008-2017. Crazy.
