I had the extraordinary privilege of sitting down with Gert, 101, to talk about her lessons for living. And what an amazing experience! Gert told me that she “never had any problems at all until she turned 100.” She’s slowed down a bit, but is still one of the most lively, funny, and wise interviewees in the Legacy Project. This is a video to savor.

Lessons for Living from the Wisest Americans
What a lovely lady Gert is, and so intelligent and common sensical. I shared to my FB wall. I hope she continues well and happy for years to come!
Hi Kim,
I am very happy to let you know that I met with Gert again just the day before yesterday! She reminded me that she is now “101 and four months old.” Another great quote from her: “I was perfectly fine until I reached 100! Now I need a little assistance.” She’s a fantastic person. This may be a bit hard to believe, but the retirement community where she lives in New York City has started a “flash mob” of its elders, and she had recently been dancingwith the group in Union Square! Here’s the video – Gert is the first person who talks.

love this. She’s a rock star and she is right, as you get older you should get a tax break.
