It was my privilege to interview Mrs. Sadie Tilberg, age 100.

Now online in this week’s Kanabec County Times.

Mrs. Tilberg was charming, articulate, and an absolute delight to chat with. I truly hope I’m as young as she is when I’m 100.

“My grandkids always tell me that they remember my advice: take life as it comes, and make the best of it. I like to be a happy person. I don’t judge people; there’s something good to be found in everyone. And I tell them: be careful what you say. You can ask someone for forgiveness, but you can’t ever take back a harsh word.”
