At age 106, Alfred “Al” Blaschke reclaimed the Guinness World Record for the oldest person to tandem skydive, proving that age is just a number and that "everyone is more capable than they think." Blaschke, a resident of Georgetown, Texas, first broke this record at 103 in 2020 and reached an altitude of 9,000ft in November 2023 to reclaim his title. His latest jump was inspired by the record-setting skydive of 104-year-old Dorothy Hoffner, who passed away shortly after her jump. Blaschke's skydiving journey, which began at 100, celebrates significant milestones in his life, including his grandsons' college graduation. Born in 1917, Blaschke worked in the tool-and-die industry, contributing to aircraft manufacturing during WWII, and retired in 1982. His skydiving endeavors highlight his belief in seizing opportunities and challenging personal limits.

Al said to the press in attendance: “If you think you can’t, you’re just underestimating yourself. Everyone is more capable than they think. They just need to make the decision to try.”

Join us in congratulating Virginia!

Eighty-three years after pausing her master’s program at Stanford University to marry during World War II, 105-year-old Virginia “Ginger” Hislop has finally earned her degree, showcasing that it's never too late for education. Hislop began her academic journey in 1936 at Stanford University School of Education, graduated with a bachelor’s in 1940, and then started her master’s program. However, she left before completing her thesis when her then-boyfriend, George Hislop, was called to serve in the war, leading the couple to marry. Despite not finishing her degree, Hislop pursued a successful career in Washington state politics, contributing significantly to education through various board roles, including helping to start Heritage University.

Recently, Hislop’s son-in-law discovered that Stanford had dropped the thesis requirement, meaning she had all the credits needed to graduate. On June 16, Hislop received her master of arts in education as the lone member of the class of 1940, met with a standing ovation from her family and fellow graduates. Reflecting on the moment, Hislop expressed her joy and the long wait for this achievement, saying, “My goodness. I’ve waited a long time for this.”
