Meet A Few Centenarians

Centenarians like Edith Blair Staton, age 102, have lived the history most of us only read about. Mrs. Staton was acquainted with a number of American presidents and met regularly with several First Ladies in her capacity as national director of the Girl Scouts of America. She knew people who died aboard the Titanic.
