Margaret was at Pebble Beach with her Packard this last August. She's still pretty sharp too.

I like how she puts a clean rag onto the running board before stepping aboard.

If you are 102 in 2012, you would have been 101 in 2011 ....

The fact that she is still alive and driving is amazing enough

If she still is driving her Packard at 103 in 2013, it will be news !


I think it is a sweet story of determination,......
