1. She was born the year women got the vote. nt

7. Wow, thanks for noting. Yesterday, even in real human terms.

The oldest person she grew up around would have been born long before our Civil War -- very likely, in personal experience, before the Industrial Age replaced the 20,000 years of the Agricultural Age.

2. Saw that story on the news

We should all be so lucky as to have a vocation we love so much.

Her son is in awe of her never give up spirit. Amazed and amused.😊

3. Accent...What Accent

Certainly, the video of Virginia Oliver is most interesting, but her son's accent is worth the price of admission.

5. Our accent was richer a couple of generations ago. :)

6. Very cool. Lobstering is hard work. Crippling, even.

8. That's great and very inspiring. As I grow old I have vowed to keep on keeping on.

Age is just a number. I'm definitely impressed by the lobster lady.
