Betty Brestel said her resolution is “to exercise, exercise, exercise,” for health reasons. Among her plans for 2012 is to go to Arizona, do some sightseeing and “to see Rod Stewart in Las Vegas.” Amelia Cutietta said, “I want to try to be healthy and enjoy my grandchildren, and the rest, I leave it to God.” Ruth Hamlyn, who at 98 was the oldest person present, said her hope is that “God lets me live another year, so I can be a better person.” Catherine Amico said her 2012 resolution is to be more careful. “As a senior, you know, you have to be careful walking, and I just tripped,’ she said. “And also to be forgiving and be tolerant.” She looks forward to spending time with her three children, five grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. Finally, Carl Wingo intends to “just keep plugging along” in 2012. FY
