Worlds Oldest Blogger Dies at 108!!!
I just heard about this sad news on CTV….
An Australian woman named Olive Riley has sadly died peacefully at age 108. She passed away on Saturday (12th July) and her blog http://www.allaboutolive.com.au/ has been down due to a flurry of hits.
You can visit her temporary blog here: http://worldsoldestblogger.blogspot.com/
According to CNN ’she was amazed by the internet’ and often blogged about her childhood.
RIP OLIVE RILEY
She was born in 1899 in a small mining village, which is awesome. She is probably the only blogger EVER to be born pre 1900 and luckily for us her blog is stored in history, never changing on the internet.
She would have been 109 on October 20 and originally started blogging after Mike Rubbo, who filmed a documentary on her life four years ago, suggested the idea.
I can’t even imagine reaching that age, let alone, still be blogging. However we have to stand up and give this lovely lady all our respect.
I only wish I had known about her, and interacted, sooner.
