102 Years Old and Still Going Strong!

She was born over a hundred years ago, the same year the Wright brothers made aviation history. On February 11, Lennie Christenson of Tyrell County will turn 102.

Christenson has seen the invention of electricity, two World Wars and Henry Ford's first automobile, the model "A."

When asked how she has managed to live so long, Lennie says good genes and staying active is her secret.

Christenson grew up in the town of Gum Neck in Tyrell County and once worked for the F.B.I. in Washington D.C.
