Good for her: 101 y.o. Fisherwoman has no plans to stop fishing
« on: September 18, 2021, 12:51:05 AM »
...for lobsters:

101-year-old fisherwoman still catching Atlantic lobsters after nine decades

Virginia Oliver picked her first snapping lobster out of the Atlantic in 1928 – and she’s still at it.

The 101-year-old has been looking for shellfish off the coast of New England since she was a little girl and still very much has her sea legs.

With the help of her son Max, 78, she continues to head out on the water, come rain or shine, and may just well be the oldest fisher in the world.

Good for her and with exercise, it is a key point for her longevity. 

My uncle in mn has a big yard and at pushing 89 years old, he still mows the lawn.  When I was there, I gave him a helping hand but was told by his kids to let him push the manual lawn mower himself. 

Active lifestyle is the key to longevity for some people.
