RIP Gertrude Weaver

That title probably is pretty stressful. She knew she had a target on her back.

Coincidentally, Gertrude was once the youngest person in the world.

That distinction is in place for a MUCH shorter time than the recent one.

Dang! My Gertrude Weaver - Oldest Living Person fan club t-shirt hadn't even arrived yet.

That newcomer Jeralean Talley just got the title handed to her on a silver platter. Talk about luck!

For some reason, the T-shirt design with it's big bullseye and slogan of "You're Next" hasn't been very popular.
