Is 1909 a strong year?

 

Well, I have seen the latest photos of the supercentenarians from 1909, they seemed very good to me.

 

But I think some of them look fragile, for example.

 

Pearl Berg she uses an oxygen tube, but I see she smiles in her last photo.

 

I think Tane Matsubara and Masa Matsumoto seem fragile.

 

Juan Vicente Pérez Mora looks very good in his last photo.

 

Kane Tanaka (1903-2022) my favorite supercentenarian of all time.

Charlotte Kretschmann is in my opinion the strongest SC of 1909.

Elizabeth Francis surprised me this year, I thought her health might have declined more but she is doing quite well and in stable condition like Fusa and JVPM (possibly Matsubara too)

Most of the others have been going through a steady decline

I hope someone makes to 4 Aug 2027 as that would be the farthest anyone has ever made it into a decade (Calment has the record despite her birth year ending in “5”)

I think that Ethel Caterham is probably the strongest one out of the three surviving 1909-born women.

Ethel is for sure a top candidate now for strongest of 1909 and maybe even the 1900s, according to the articles she can still talk in sentences, is in great condition, and seems to be enjoying life. Hayashi hasn't been photographed in a year so we don't know how she is doing

I think that Ethel has decent odds of becoming the oldest British person ever in slightly under half a year's time!

Would be pretty cool if we'll soon see a new oldest British person ever and/or a new oldest British man ever!
