She was 101 in 2011 Gary, so if she's still alive she would be 104 now. Be great to be as fit and agile as she is at 101!

Here's what a mate of mine in Florida wrote, Vic:
I loved the bit about 101 year old Margaret Dunning and her 1930 Packard. I did some research on her and she will turn 104 next month and as of a month ago, she was still going to car meets. She had to drop out of college when she was young so at 102, she decided to go back, and FRAM, the company that makes Fram Oil Filters, heard about it and awarded her a full scholarship. She is a millionaire but the gesture meant so much to her. She got her first driver's license over 90 years ago. Jay Leno presented her with a special award for her Packard in the 2012 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, and commented she'd owned the car for 62 years, then added, "and has only two payments left." At age 103 she was recognized as a Michigan Person of the Year.
