I grew up in a very small village with very few people in it and on the surrounding farms. Looking back I am amazed at the long lives of some of the residents. My mother is currently 102, my father's first grade teacher lived to 100 and was my first grade teacher too. The local country doctor lived to around 100 and said he was so healthy because he took large bottles of medicine on house calls and after pouring smaller doses into smaller bottles for patients, he would lick the bottles before putting the caps back on! The competition this time is to guess the age of the oldest person I know of from the area when she died.
Only one guess per participant, competition is open to all. Winning response will be the first guess of the correct age received at or before 10 AM July 22, 2022. If no one guesses the correct age, the winner will be the person guessing the closest without going over the actual age. Good luck to all who choose to participate!
I looked through my remaining stock of stamps and it is mostly large souvenir sheets (with or without accompanying sets) and some very large sets (including unfolded strips) which I would like to keep together. So I think I will soon have to limit competitions to participants with USA mailing addresses. Otherwise I would get into having to mail registered parcels with custom declarations and that would mean costs would be too high.
