Go Granny Go- Good 4 You


Erna Cartwright isn't boastful about her age, but she would deserve to boast about her upcoming birthday.

The Oshkosh resident turns 100 on Oct. 31 and it's a milestone in more ways that one. Not only is she turning triple digits, but she's also still working. That marks 82 years in the workforce.

Cartwright is the bookkeeper for Oshkosh City Cab Co., where she's been employed since 1946. She has no formula for longevity, but said "keeping busy and moving around" at her age is a plus.

She regularly drives a car and didn't lose a sense of humor when she recently renewed her driver's license for another eight years.

"I talked to the woman who waited on me for my license and I told her that I bought a new broom. I really don't think she comprehended that I was turning 100," Cartwright said.
