Gertrude Moe, a truly lovely lady

It was Aug. 27, 2015, the day Gertrude Moe and I met. She had spent two days walking, not because she had to walk, but because she likes to walk.

Gertrude is 93 years old. She uses electric trimmers (by hand) on the fast growing bushes near her house. Gertrude told me, "I use the trimmer twice a year. I get up at 8:30 and work until 10 a.m. I spend a lot of time working in the yard." She has a garden tractor and uses it often. Gertrude drives easily to Cheney and likes to stop in at Zips for ice cream.

Gertrude and Leslie Moe were married when she was 18. Her husband had a job on the railroad...
