It was reported that former US President, George W. Bush celebrated
his 90th birthday by skydiving, but this 100 year old woman, Eleanor
Cunningham of Howes Cave, New York, raised the stake and has him beat by
making the big leap to mark her centennial. Read the rest on Huff’ Post:
Cunningham kissed her 7-month-old
great-great-granddaughter before suiting up for her 100th birthday jump
Saturday at Saratoga Skydiving in Gansevoort (GANZ’-voort). It was her
third jump, after taking up the sport at age 90.
Cunningham lives with her granddaughter in their Schoharie
(skoh-HAYR’-ee) County home in central New York. Her doctor signed off
on the skydiving expedition, saying her health makes her more than
capable of doing what she loves.
Dean McDonald of Saratoga Skydiving says Cunningham is his oldest jump partner yet.
