Talu Massey, at 103, walks her talk. Talu voted for the first time 80 years ago, when FDR was re-elected to the White House, and has voted consistently ever since, including this year. She wasn’t about to let a little something like a pandemic interfere with what Talu considers a fundamental right of Americans.

Talu even participated in the music video “I Have A Right to Vote,” which was produced to inspire us all to vote, regardless of our different political leanings. Talu credits her inspiring health and longevity to doing whatever one enjoys, but in moderation, and is a great believer in staying involved with one’s community. Wise words.
