My last Delivering Happiness blog post about people who are amazing despite their age was a real pleasure to write. Honestly, I had so much fun doing research to find incredible people that I couldn't limit myself to just three inspiring examples. In case you’re wondering, I actually discovered a total of nine (yes, NINE!) people whose talents are unique given how young or old they are.
With that, here are three more people to inspire you. Stay tuned for my next blog post in which I present the last three individuals who prove that age really is just a number.
Jackson Murphy, film critic since age 7½
Rob Foster, avid thirty-something Star Wars toy collector
Many kids collect toys growing up, but only a handful of them continue that hobby (or perhaps, obsession) into adulthood. Rob Foster (birth year unknown) currently has virtually every Star Wars toy ever made, from the original 1977 action figures to the more recent LEGO Star Wars sets. According to an article at Gizmodo, Rob and his girlfriend share a home with enough space to house the 2,000+ Star Wars toys. In fact, she’s actually fine with the idea of living with a man and his toy collection.
Johanna Quaas, the oldest gymnast in the world
