Thanks, Leigh for a very full report on the amazing Olive who's left us so sad with her recent passing

Actually, I thought she'd make 110.

Indeed, when we were in Broken Hill, NSW, making her movie, All about Olive, I saw some olive trees just newly planted.

I asked the guy watering them when they'd bear fruit. "In 2010," he said.

"Hey, Ollie," I challenged her." We've got to come back to try
these in 2010." Olive. She laughed. "Not likely, Mike." She was right.

But I always believed she'd taste those olives at least.

We'll keep the blog going for a while, hoping that people will send in stories of their own old folks If we get good ones, we'll post them in memory of olive and someone who inspired so many.

Mike, her helper

I came across Olive's 'blob' via Ronni at Time Goes By. I also saw a story on tv a while back. She's sure got stories to tell.

How fantastic for her. Keeping up with technology, I bet you she can talk about computers with her grandchildren!
Her story is so enlightening!!

Thank you for that link to Ollie! I read just two entries (her most recent and her first). I'm just in awe, and so very touched, that at her age she is getting her story out.
