Kicker - Centennial siblings

NICK EICHER, HOST: So I thought I was so clever. I was turning 57 and my brother 43, both birthdays in December. So I said, bro, let’s do a combined 100th birthday and it was great.

Well, Eric and I have nothing on these siblings:

Gerry Bulger turns 101 next month and she has a 97 year old sister, and two younger brothers, 95 and 93 respectively for a combined age of 383 and that’s some kind of modern-age record.

Speaking with TV station WITI, the elder sister Gerry offered this advice for living a long, healthy life.

BULGER: Eat good vegetables and don’t try to get too skinny.

Don’t try to get too skinny: check.

Eat good vegetables: working on it.
