When I look at them, I only have respect.

Lu,
i was thinking the same thing, they've lived through so much history

good for them! best wishes!

What's so great about living to 100 if you haven't been laid in the last 25 years?

It's not like you're going to change history in a retirement home.

Jimmy John... History lives in our elders. The question is not what our centurians have done in their last 25 years. Rather, it is what each of us do in our first 25 years and live to tell about it. History. BTW Great photos AC!!

Congratulations and respect to you.

awesome pics, and awesome people, the most of them seem happy

kleydev1 - History lives in books.

Your elders have stories... Embellished like fishing tales your grandfather told you. Btw, the fish gets bigger every year.

I'm going out on a limb here, but lost memory and what can be considered alzheimers probably kicks in around 80.

There's quite an art to falling apart as the years go by,
And life doesn't begin at 40. That's a big fat lie.
My hair's getting thinner, my body is not;
The few teeth I have are beginning to rot.

I smell of Vick's-Vapo-Rub, not Chanel # 5;
My new pacemaker's all that keeps me alive.
When asked of my past, every detail I'll know,
But what was I doing 10 minutes ago?

Well, you get the idea, what more can I say?
I'm off to read the obituary, like I do every day;
If my names not there, I'll once again start -
Perfecting the art of falling apart

Why or how can you have respect for these people if you have no clue to what they have done in their life , some could have been War Criminals from any war this Century or anything else,.
you just don`t know what secrets hide behind those Eyes,.,.

just saying,., .,.,

They r lucky.
What about us ...

History is good, it has shown us what doesn't work or sometimes what does!

last one looks like he had a happy life

If we could all live this long! Wow.. they look happy :) Would be nice to get some background on them see what the secret is!

Thirty-two years to go. I hope I look as good as these wonderful characters do. That last guy is taking his Viagra for sure.
Jimmy Johnson doesn't realize yet that life isn't all about getting laid. Did I actually say that? There is masturbation Jimmy.

Cool, I love his Anti-nucleo(r) glasses!

Choochwho- You get hairy palms after a while, or so I've heard.

wow...aweseom!

Growing old feels fine, when we have someone we love and love us. Give us reason to breath.
Yes, no one knows what the story behind those eyes..
My highest respect for them.

Dare to life is harder than dare to die..

Awesome!!! They look so happy!

imagine all the stories they could tell. AWEsoME!
