HEAVENS TO BESSIE
November 1907: The first free flight of a helicopter occurred, Oklahoma was admitted as a state, Louis B. Mayer opened up his first theatre, and one Bessie Hendricks came into this world. The oldest living American until her death, our geriatric Iowan was the latest in a long line of 110 Clubbers to thank sweets for their longevity, and in her youth she fed taffy to horses. No word if the horses had similar luck in their lifespans. She was 115 and Gray Panthers rebounds from his narrow Theme Team League loss last year with a stylish entrance into the 2023 competition.
