Jason – you could contact the Connecticut Commission on Aging at coa@cga.ct.gov and see if they can answer your question. Also, the Agency on Aging of South Central Connecticut might be of help. Their number is 203-785-8533. Good luck, and thanks for your comment.

Frank, unfortunately I’m focusing on people 100 and older, so Ms. Nicholls is just a little shy of that. She sounds awesome though. I appreciate your suggestion.

I love reading these stories about our CT citizens who have reached the century mark. It is so refreshing to read about an older person who is still active and sharp – they give us younger folks something to look forward to. And by the way Mr.Couser – I think your are fabulous! My husband and I looked at your pictrue and both thought you were fibbing about your age – you sure don’t look 100!

My mother-in- law, Ruth Schwarz, is one hundred and one years old and currently has her own apartment at Elim Park in Cheshire, CT. She is planning to move to an assisted living facility in North Carolina so as to be near her daughter. With her grandaughter and a friend, she will be flying to North Carolina in late June. She is an amazing woman who has lived in Connecticut all of her life. My wife and I are both 76, have been married for 53 years, and Ruth still thinks of us as young people. I sort of look at her as the prototype for the “Rayovac Bunny”. I have some excellent photographs of her at her 100th birthday party as well as historical photograohs of her dating back to 1928
