At 101 keeping up with her son


The CBS news article
here.


A 101-year-old Utah woman who ushered in her birthday with a
tandem paraglide ride last year will soar into the record books Tuesday.

Great-great grandmother Mary Hardison of Ogden has been officially recognized as
the "Oldest Female to Paraglide Tandem" by Guinness World Records. She has
supplanted a 100-year-old woman from Cyprus who took her flight in 2007.

Hardison flew with an instructor on Sept. 1, 2011, while four generations of her
family watched and cheered. The flight went smoothly and even included a few
tricks that Hardison encouraged.

In a questionnaire submitted to Guinness, Hardison said she wanted to paraglide
because her 75-year-old son began doing it as a hobby. She did not return a
phone call from The Associated Press.

"I didn't want him to do something that I couldn't do," Hardison said.
