Subject: Spedding and Farris-Luse

Latest noted person to join the ranks of the deceased
is Sir David Spedding,born March 7th 1943.He headed the
British intelligence service MI6 from 1994 to 1999,
previous to which he was supposedly a diplomat.

Still senior among the living is Maud Farris Luse,
who I affirm was born January 21st 1887,I have seen
the documentation supplied by her family and it
appears authentic.Guinness appears to have gotten
some press recognizing oldest-Briton Amy Hulmes
(October 5th 1887),who is a loyal Guinness drinker,
as world's oldest,but I expect they will yield once
they see the Farris-Luse documentation I have told
them of and which is on its way.

She saw her first automobile when she was 16,
the year she married a man who worked in the
livery stable of a hotel where she worked.
She is,from what I've been told,older than anyone
ever placed in cryosuspension.

A child born today who reached her present age would
make it to November 2115...by which time such an age
could seem trivial...of course anyone reading this
and alive then would be older,and I expect that with
one lurking exception we'd all like to do that.

The singularitarians would have 2115 be impermeably
unknowable to us,but I hope it's more like optimistic
science fiction of years past would have it,with
colonies of recognizable humans spreading through
the solar system.

What do you predict for 2115?
