The sad news that I just received is that Olive, the world’s oldest blogger, has passed away at the age of 108. Mike Rubbo, a documentary filmmaker, started last year to document some of Olive’s stories of her life, as well as posting current video of her telling stories, singing, or just talking to Mike and others. Even though she lived on the other side of the planet from me, her stories from another time, along her obvious joy for living, touched me in a quite unexpected way.
May God comfort Olive’s family and friends at this time of loss. And thanks, Mike, for allowing all of us to share in her life. The link to her blog (or her blob, as she called it) is on the right sidebar, but has been having problems for unknown reasons. A temporary blog was established recently when someone else had to post in Mike’s stead, and can be reached here: World’s Oldest Blogger.
