Today is my uncle’s 80th birthday. He’s a character and acts like he did 30 years ago, with a mind still as sharp as a tack.
That got me thinking about some famous people who are 80 or over. Here’s a list that you can filter by profession. Can you name seven that you’d like to spend an afternoon with?
That’s the challenge for this week! As always, thanks for stopping by!

THIS WEEK’S QUESTION:
Name seven notable people age 80 or up that you’d like to spend an afternoon with to get to know them and how they’ve made a success for so long.

I found some on the list and some not. But it would be a great week nonetheless! http://traislinge.blogspot.com/2011/09/today-is-my-uncles-80th-birthday.html
I’m in finally: http://sweetmemes.blogspot.com/2011/09/patricks-place_05.htmlI'd like to make a separate list of people I would rather never hear about again….but I won’t since I’ll probably insult someone by including their favorite person. 😉
@fdtate313 Yeah, Duane, I saw Paul Newman, but I figured that despite being a few years outdated, it was one of the best lists I could find. And if someone wants to bring back Mr. Newman for an afternoon, I wouldn’t object! 🙂
Probably should have found a more current list as some of these people — notably Paul Newman, Daniel Schorr, Robert Byrd and Ted Stevens — are dead and some others aren’t doing too good.
But for a lively dinner party, let’s say, I’d invite Jimmy Carter, Hugh Hefner, Studs Terkel, Stan Lee, Bruton Smith, Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner. Tony Bennett could provide the evening’s entertainment.
