A shout out to Dorothy!

I don't know if you guys saw the article 10 days ago about Dorothy Hoffner. She was born 3 years this side of WW1. She successfully went skydiving at 104 years old on Oct 1st. She passed yesterday, 9 days after her jump. She hailed from Chicago and set what is very likely, the new record for the oldest skydiver. The Guinness commission has to review it. I don't think she much cares or would have cared too much about their fuss.

I appreciate people who know how to live...............they aren't keeping records, they make them!


Godspeed Dorothy!

I did see the news about her jump. Didn't see that she had died. Glad she got her jump in.

104 and skydiving.
I'm 58 and have trouble putting on my socks.

She was more brave than me. I agree with putting on socks. 😂

I told my youngest that at 100 I was going to start my bucket list. He has anxiety and worries about everything so I told him I will wait until I'm 100. He's 9 and doesn't need to worry mommy will do something like jump out of plane. SO thank you Dorothy for showing me it won't be too late.

I have to live to 106 for Sapphire but since I have to have both feet on the ground I won't be skydiving 🥴😊 I'll feel privileged if I accomplish that. He was on my bucket list anyway 🤗
