MRS. CHRISTIAN - THE OLDEST PITCAIRN ISLANDER
As you can see the old bugger's still going strong. 93 Year Old Mrs. Christian, great - grand daughter of Fletcher, daughter of Monica and Steve Christian, who has never left the Pitcairns. It has been said that she can find herself around the Pitcairns blindfolded and in the dark.
Imagine meeting her in the dark. You'd have a stroke wouldn't you!
You'll notice on Mrs. Christian's lapels the two badges she proudly wears to all official functions. On the left is the red Pitcairn Guide Leader badge, although we only have six people on the island who are eligible for the Guides, and none of them have the slightest interest in joining her pack. She still insists on running up the flag every Tuesday evening and holding a pack meeting at the Council Offices. It was only two years ago she gave up holding the annual camp at Plumbers Inlet. It didn't help when them two nancy's over there tried to join up.
The badge on her right lapel is the Pitcairn Death List Leader badge, this is given to the person most likely to top the Death List Lottery, as mentioned on previous blogs. At 93 - how long can she hang out. The plastic top in the photo is part of the oxygen tent that surrounds Mrs. Christian where-ever she goes.
