Ida Keeling, 95-Year-Old Woman Sets Sprinting Record!
Ida Keeling is the world's fastest nonagenarian.

The 95-year-old Bronx native set a world record at a track meet in northern Manhattan last week, running 60 meters in 29.86 seconds, according to ABC News. She's the oldest woman to do so.

At 4-foot-6 and 83 lbs Keeling says she has always been the oldest person at her meets. That might be because she didn't even take up running until she was 67.


From ABC News:

Active and healthy and living alone in her Bronx, N.Y., apartment, she could pass for 75. She says she feels even younger.

"Like a puppy," she declares. "I feel younger now than when I was in my 30s and 40s and had all those problems. Then I was aged!"

Keeling's husband died of a heart attack at the age of 42, and both of her sons were killed in drug-related killings, according to ABC. Her daughter, Shelley, a lawyer, real estate investor, and high school track coach convinced her mother to take up running at 67.

Since then, Keeling has set record after record, becoming one of the world's oldest sprinting legends. According to ABC, she set the record for the world's fastest sprint in the 90-and-over age category last year.

RESIDENT OF THE MONTH—HARRY AUGER

Harry Auger moved into our community in late October, and we are all excited to honor him as our Resident of the Month for February. Harry was born in Hyde Park, Massachusetts, which is a neighborhood in Boston. He grew up with three siblings and during his career, Harry worked as a cabinet maker for forty-five years. Harry has three children and one grandchild who mean a lot to him. He still has a passion for model building and often works on model size replicas of different ships and more in his apartment here at FMAL. Harry’s many hobbies include: movies, shopping, playing cards, and any other group activities. He also enjoys shows about history and loves eating Italian food. His favorite place to travel to, he says would be Cape Cod, which is near where he grew up. If you ever get a chance, stop by and take a look at some of his wood working projects because they are truly a work of art and very detailed. His Mayflower replica was on our dining room mantel during the Thanksgiving holiday, and many, including myself, were surprised to find that it was made by Harry, himself!
