He turned out to be 100 years old.

The Joplin Globe - Online Editions: "t found one man who not only had subscribed for 50 years but he had just taken out a new two-year subscription. He turned out to be 100 years old.
“Since I hope to be alive in two years,” he said, he was taking advantage of the lower annual subscription rate for two-year subscribers.
Sometimes when our hopes are too long deferred it is because we need a new set of hopes.
A wise old lady in my parish in Boston had a saying, “When everything is against you, just quit.” She didn’t mean we are to give up. She meant we are to go on to something else — something that offers more hope of success.
When one set of hopes fails, we can remember the line of Signor Pococurante in Voltaire’s “Candide”: “I shall have another garden laid out tomorrow upon a nobler plan. Another garden of hopes.”
But mostly, I think, hope is a matter of carrying on with the simple, familiar acts of our daily life while leaving ourselves open for the happy surprises which life so often brings to those who don’t lose hope.
The essayist E.B. White once wrote a letter to a friend who was in the throes of despair. He said:
“As long as there is one upright man, as long as there is one compassionate woman, the contagion may spread and the scene is not desolate.

100th Birthday Invitation

noreply@blogger.com (Peter Mulieri) — Tue, 21 Jun 2005 09:05:15 PDT

Hi
I'm planning a party for my Mom for 100th birthday at her house on 884 Bowling Green Drive,in Westbury,NY,where they have lived for the last 55 years, on Sat Aug.6, 2005 at 2:00 PM. Everyone is invited who wants to celebrate my Mom's Century of Living.There will be food,refreshments,a cake,and possibly entertainment. I want this to be a truly memorable occasion. If you have additional ways to celebrate this occasion ,please let me know. I need to know how many people are coming to properly prepare for it. I will be going on vacation from July 1, to July 25, so email my brother James Mulieri at jmulieri@tampabay.rr.com with the number of people coming and he in turn he will relay the messages to me. This will also be the time we will celebrate their 75th wedding anniversary. My dad is 97 and they still live together. They were married at the end of August 1930. I think this is a record. If you know of anyone married longer than 75 years in the United States and still living let me know. If you know of anyone who might want to come. forward them this message.

Centenarians cite faith as key to long life

Centenarians cite faith as key to long life: "
Monday, June 20, 2005
BY MARY KLAUS
Of The Patriot-News
Ida Betty Orstein dances around the issue of her age as easily as she waltzes, fox-trots or twists around the dance floor at the Jewish Home of Greater Harrisburg.
'I can't just sit around,' she said shortly after she and five other residents of the Lower Paxton Twp. nursing home were welcomed into the Century Club, comprised of residents who have celebrated 100 years of life. 'I like dancing, especially the Hava Nagilah [an energetic Jewish dance whose title translates into 'let's celebrate']. Dancing is fun.' At 101, the petite, elegant Orstein is the senior member of the home's Century Club. 'It's not unusual for us to have one or two residents 100 years old,' said Nancy Vandevender, Jewish Home director of therapeutic recreation. 'But we've never had six people 100 years old or older. That's unique.' "

Mom's Press release for birthday celebration

noreply@blogger.com (Peter Mulieri) — Mon, 20 Jun 2005 19:50:56 PDT

[ClickPress, Mon Jun 20 2005] Fannie Mulieri of Westbury, NY, of immigrant parents will have lived a century on Aug 9, 2005. She is still living with her husband Anthony, who is 97. They were married in Brooklyn ,where they were both born,in Aug 1930. Its a toss up as to the greater accomplishment, living to 100 or being married for 75 years.

They have 3 children,6 grandchildren,and 11 great grandchildren. They have lived at 884 Bowling Green Drive for the last 55 years. She never drove a car,but she knows what email,cable TV,and the internet is.

She flew in a plane as far as Kansas and Florida. They don't worry about cholesterol or fat content of what they eat. They drink beer, wine,and soda with their meals. Anthony takes no prescription drugs. They both laugh a lot.
