Oldest Person in the World Lives in Michigan!

Jeralean Talley was born in Georgia, on May 23, 1899. She moved to Michigan in 1935 and lives in Inkster, MI. And she's just been confirmed as the oldest person...in the WORLD.

That means Jeralean was probably following scandalous stories about Clara Bow - the Miley Cyrus of the SILENT FILM age and was already 42 when World War II started. And she was 70 years old when Neil Armstrong first stepped on the moon. Amazing.

And Jeralean might have to use a walker now, but, according to mlive.com, she didn't give up bowling until she was 104.

Here's the whole story.
