“People are living longer nowadays, which is great. And it appears that more and more people are achieving the centenarian stage of their lives. If you don’t believe me, just ask Willard Scott.” Bob Hope
For centuries, kings and rulers spent a fortune for alchemists to develop the elixir of life. The effort proved futile.
People who reach the age of 100 are rare and subject to awe.
The centenarians highlighted in this wonderful book are noted only for the length but for the depth and breadth of their lives. In their century of living, these fascinating people prove that an individual can make a difference.
From music greats Irving Berlin and Eubie Blake to political figures Alfred Landon and Madame Chiang Kai-shek and icons of the American scene George Burns and Rose Kennedy and the trailblazing Delany sisters, these Centenarians celebrate in an indomitable spirit of humanity.
Highly interesting and inspiring, this book will motivate readers to manage their lifestyles properly so that they too may reach the century milestone.
