There were 2 wonderful old ladies on Jay Leno last week, 2 different 
shows.  One was Venus Ramey, Miss America 1944, age 82, who made the 
news for fighting off criminals on her farm.

The other was a 102 year old golfer who hit a hole in one and had all 
kinds of secrets to longevity.

unfortunately the longevity secrets were reserved for the tonight 
show--can't find a transcript of them.  I guess no matter how old you 
are the best can always be yet to come.
