Susan Young Browne is growing old gracefully, and she’s got a driver’s license to prove it. The 108-year-old from Dover, Delaware, recently received permission to keep driving until she’s 115 years old. That’s a testament to Browne’s enduring aptitude — and attitude — for life. After graduating from Delaware State College in 1945, she went on to teach in a one-room schoolhouse. These days, she can be found three days a week at the Modern Maturity Center where she enjoys group exercise classes. She believes that staying active is the key to her graceful aging. “When I get up in the morning, I have an exercise routine that I’ve been doing for the last 20 years,” she said. Browne says she walked around a classroom for 30 years, and now that she's retired, she's not going to just sit down. When she celebrated her 108th birthday, she was joined by 130 people, including Delaware Governor Matt Meyer, who presented her with a parking spot right in front of the building, reserved for those 100 years old or older. That’s important, because as Browne told those assembled to celebrate her life, that the state had just reissued her driver’s license until 2033.
