A 103 Year Old Volunteer
I will turn 60 in March and will be starting my 25th year with the University of Illinois Extension. Am I old? I don't feel old. I do have a few more aches and pains, but I can't complain, especially when I came across this story in the Minneapolis Star Tribune about a 103 year old lady who volunteers feeding the poor at her church. To see the video, you will have to give your birth date and zip code.
