Centenarians Grow and Thrive

As the nation celebrates May as older Americans month, there are more than 72,000 centenarians in the U.S. Americans over 100 make up the second fastest growing segment of the population, second only to those in the segment at least 110 years of age. Many in this age category often time outlive their friends and much of their family, leaving them with little or no support system. They still have much to give, especially the history that they carry. They have lived through two World Wars, come from all 4 corners of the world, and seen it all. Take some time to visit and learn while they still are able to share. You will gain more than you give.
