Did you see this story?
An elderly woman at a senior living center in Cincinnati started choking on her food. Guess who was sitting next to her? Ninety-six year old Dr. Henry Heimlich, also a resident of the center, who used his famous maneuver to save her life.
How cool is that!? Full circle.
I was afraid to post a link...you can bing Heimlich...the Washington Post has a story.

And just when you think this wonderful story couldn't get any better, here in California, it was reported on our evening news tonight that the doctor and this darling lady are actually seeing each other socially now! A happy story on the news for a change!

For any of you who have experienced being marginalized because of the date on your birth certificate, as I have, take a lesson from this story.
I'm guessing the woman who was choking didn't give a hoot how old Dr. Heimlich was.

And in the brief blurb I heard on TV about it, I thought they mentioned that it was the first time he'd ever actually used the maneuver to save someone. He had only done it in 'theory' in the past, and this was the first time he did it for a person actually choking. Is that part accurate? If so, rather interesting!
