ONE CENTURY: Portraits of centenarians and the activities that bring them joy - Part 2

JEAN GODFREY ~ 100

It’s always cold on my birthday, you can count on that!

Jean enjoys getting her haircut at the salon. It’s her big birthday this week and it was 1F/-18C when she arrived for her monthly appointment.

St. Paul, MN, USA.


MIREILLE WILMART - 101

Je participe à toutes les activités qui me sont proposées. ~ I participate in all the activities that are offered.

Mireille is so lovely and witty. She is amazingly young at heart and plays cards every afternoon.

Cabourg, Normandy, France.


WILLIAM PATTEN - 105

I’ve done about everything I wanted to do.

Bill is a charmer with the most endearing sense of humor. He completed 35 missions during WWII as a pilot for the 97th Bombardment Group in the 15th American Air Force. He loves to talk about his life with the most amazing detail and accuracy. He walks without any help, goes to the gym and enjoys resting on his favorite chair with Raimi.

Osceola, WI, USA.

More centenarians will be featured soon. You can visit the project gallery here.
