Look at her. Isn't she great?

This is Miss Charlotte Kwasha. She tells me the secret to her longevity is never having been married and never having had kids. She winks when she says it. She told me that she lost her chance at marriage when her mother had a stroke. Charlotte was 17 at the time. She said that she dropped out of school to take care of her. She said-"I thought at the most 4 years". You should hear how she says it. She is so clinical! She has a kind of a detached amusement. It was 73 years ago after all. "Do you know, she hung on for 10! Well, I was 27 when she finally passed away,far too old to be eligible for marriage."

So Charlotte got a job at City Hall here in Providence. When she was 34 years old she was "tricked" into becoming a WAAC. She joined Women's Auxiliary Army because some guy dared her to sign a paper, she was feeling a little stir crazy that day, so she"without realizing it, signed away her life!". When he flipped the paper over it had some official seal and some numbers on it. She told him to rip it up. He said he couldn't "on account of the numbers" so off she went to Des Moines, Iowa for training and then she spent years in New Guinea,sleeping in a tent as bullets whizzed overhead.

On February 12 of this year Willard Scott told America how pretty he thought she was and wished her a happy 100th birthday. She likes to go for brisk walks every day, she insists on making her own bed,completes the daily crossword, and is always involved in a book. She eats only when she hungry,and enjoys chit chatting. These are her secrets.
And now Charlotte is on the web.
