It is official... on April 6, 2011 Gladys Burrill (AKA: Glady, Gladiator, Glady-ator) was officially recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the oldest person who ever finished a Marathon http://www.kitv.com/video/27420401/detail.html. Although they will never admit it, our Lanikea neighbors Ann and George McCarthy were instrumental in helping Glady realize her Marathon dream.
Ann is Glady's hairdresser and she put Glady and her husband George together as walking partners. George started walking with Glady and the two became not only trusted walking partners but also good friends. They walked and talked... talked and walked... and the rest is history... Congratulations Glady, Ann and George!
P.S. Ann, "The Instigator," is in the background of the enclosed picture ;-)
