Here is how to write about older people. It is the local paper write up on a friend who is 100. www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/11465121.Wenda_cracks_the_secret_of_a_long_life/
It tells of her remarkable life without condescension or being patronising. If only all local newspaper reporters could write as well! I think the headline was written by a sub-standard sub-editor, since it is irrelevant to anything in the article except her age.
