Pole vault event this Saturday

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com QUEENSBURY — W ith a little help, Nathalie Menshausen, a bright-eyed 100year-old woman fr om Warrensburg walked across a room in an assisted living community activity r oom and sat down to talk about her life.

Asked July 7 for her opinion on the reasons for her longevity, she credited good nutrition due to eating healthy foods. Menshausen was a public school nutritionist, most r ecently working for the Hudson Falls School District in a 19-year stint. “I’m looking forwar d to my r etirement,“ she said with a grin. “And when people r etire, they have to be well to enjoy it.” CONTINUED ON PAGE 16
