How do you celebrate a 104th birthday? You sing "Happy Birthday!"
What do you do when someone celebrates her 104th birthday?
You sing “Happy Birthday!”
That’s what the Bingo crowd at Community Health Professionals did on Wednesday for Ada resident Naudean Amidon. She will turn 104 on Feb. 5.
How do you top that? You don’t.
However, as a close second, you have Agnes Crates, also of Ada, give her friend, Naudean, a bouquet of flowers. Between the two women they’ve blown out birthday candles over 200 times. Agnes is 102.
Both women are avid Bingo players.
What happened in the world in 1912 – in addition to Naudean’s birth? – William Howard Taft was president of the United States, the Titanic sunk in the Atlantic Ocean, the U.S. flag had 46 stars (New Mexico and Arizona made it 47 and 48 later that year), and women had yet to earn the right to vote.
Happy birthday, Naudean.
