Do you remember the 96 year old man who ran the marathon to become the oldest person to finish a marathon? That was in 2015. There are others in that age range who have completed physical activities that most people would not be able to contemplate let alone to complete.
I found list25.com with all the oldest people accomplishments - bungee jumping at 96, visiting the north pole at 89, sail around the world at 77, release a new music album at 92, oldest practicing pediatrician at 103, and oldest doctorate at 97, and so on.
Notorious 86-year-old jewel thief strikes again in Atlanta, police say
"Doris Payne, who was the subject of a 2013 documentary, faces another shoplifting charge, this time for slipping a $2,000 diamond necklace into her pocket.
Payne told the AP she realized a simple distraction could make it easy to slip out with a fancy trinket in hand after a friendly store owner let her try on watches as a child and then forgot she had the jewelry on. Her career was born in her 20s when she got the idea that she could support herself by lifting jewelry."
I wonder if she has applied to the Guinness Book of Records to be the oldest practicing thief, 86. Or does the Guinness Book 'recognize' achievers without requiring an application?
I was in the Watering Can in St. Catharines this week, and took these photos of calla lilies.
