I was inspired by this story and wanted to share with you all. Proof that if the spirit is strong it can achieve much more than we first think

This is a very warming story and I can't help but think all that she has sen suffered and lived/existed through, this woman can still have a passion and a drive to carry it on into her second century.
I will be long gone before I get anywhere near her age but she has demonstrated that you should always seek new things and always allow yourself the luxury of learning new things.

I can't imagine what this world will be like if I live to be that old, if I make it that long I surely hope and pray I can still play guitar and actually hear what I'm playing, lol!!! ( way to many loud amplifiers) !! Very cool story

Thanks 105 times for that story Matt!
I like the part where Mildred talks about those German bombs in World War One. The Germans had a large artillery piece called "Big Bertha" in World War One. Looks like BIG MILDRED is still the top gun.
Playing six strings keeps ya young---ya thinks?
