One hundred and eight years.
More than a century. Almost a full decade more than a century.
OK, so I had to look it up...as of today, Hester Ford is the oldest living American, from South Carolina. She is 115 years old. She is 13 days older than another living 115-year old, Iris Westman from North Dakota.
