I think thats just sad.Aging is attitude and I dont feel old,said Leaver,a former educator who still drives her Buick around town.
It doesnt take long to see that Leaver and her neighbors Mildred Harris,Grace Wolfson,Gladys Stuart and Viola Semas,have a lot more in common than their longevity and lifelong healthy habits.All are 100 except Stuart,who is 101.
Even though their sight and hearing arent what they used to be,theyve all avoided illnesses that many elderly people are stricken with.Its been 50 years since Leaver beat cancer for the first and only time.
The common thread that connects these women is the decades of service to jobs each loved as a farmer,designer,school principal,bookkeeper and secretary.In the early years of their lives,gainfully employed women like them were just as rare as 100-year-olds are today.
