Brian Reader, Administrator of the Elderwood Health Care at Linwood facility located on Como Park Boulevard in Lancaster paid homage to Lottie and informed her and the guests present:
· Lottie was born in 1901, the year the Pan American Exposition was held in Buffalo, New York. The same year the Cadillac Motor Company was founded and the year Queen Victoria passed away.
· Lottie was born before there was air flight, the first World Series of Baseball was played and the first radio shows were aired.
· She has lived through 19 presidents taking office, the depression, two World Wars and other international conflicts. She has lived through all these and other momentous occasions and prospered.
