Lehman had a family gathering to
celebrate her 100th birthday. As for
any secret to longevity, she credits her
upbringing.
“I just had good parents,” she said. She is
most proud of her family.
Erwin is pleased to see her children,
grandchildren and great-children
living successful lives. Encouraging the
younger generation to stay in shape,
Erwin said she doesn’t have any secrets
to a long life.

said.
Hitting the century mark last April didn’t
usher in major change.
“It was about the same as crossing 90. I
didn’t notice much difference,” he said.
