Yahoo! News - Woman Insists She's Not a Day Over 105
Yahoo! News - Woman Insists She's Not a Day Over 105: "RED LION, Pa. - Minnie Stein had just one complaint on her 106th birthday. She was sure she was only 105. 'She always thought that she was a year younger,' Stein's daughter, Joan Gillespie, said on her mother's birthday Tuesday.
But Gillespie said a birth certificate obtained from Harrisburg showed that her mother was born in 1899. 'She was not happy about it at all!'
Stein struggles to hear and see. She makes her way around her small apartment, 26 steps up from the street, slowly but steadily and resists entreaties to move in with family members or into an assisted living home. 'She won't hear of it,' Gillespie said."
