Grace Meyer, 101, said,"I'm most thankful for my health and even though we were poor, we always had plenty to eat.""I can't imagine the next hundred years," he said."There will be as many changes as there [have been] the past 100 years.""Don't argue with the ladies — they're usually right," he said with a smile."I probably had the best wife in the world, you know, there's none better than her.
Lillian DeBoer, 101, spoke about a simple secret to a long and happy marriage:"Respect one another [and] to honor your vows.""It wasn't that I did eat this or I didn't do that because I wanted to be 100," she said."I think part of it is keeping active and it's all part of God's plan, you know."
