Linnette Guy still sharp at 99

#JamaicaStar
MAY 20, 2024: With her 100th birthday only a few months away, retired school teacher Linnette Guy’s memory is just as sharp as it was in the days of her youth, leaving family and friends amazed by her ability to recall events that they cannot remember.
When THE STAR visited Guy on Sunday at the Serene Surrounding Nursing Care Home in Bog Walk, St Catherine, the 99-year-old was vibrant and cheerful, excited to share the joyful stories of her past.
On October 13, 1924, Guy was born and raised in Bluefields, Westmoreland, at a place her grandfather named ‘The Cottage’.

Are you from St Mary I know some in New york

[@soniaallen5920]

There is a lot of guy from Clarendon.

[@dillonbeswick2757]

Just pack up the interviewer. In an interview like this, you would expect the interviewer to connect. This could have been so much more beautiful. I would’ve considered not posting this but we would’ve missed this beautiful soul.

[@anng7514]

Did you consider that the interviewer is inexperienced (doing the best she knows to) and just sharing with the public a sweet interaction? I do not think this was meant PRIMARILY for the public but just the sharing by students who value this living treasure who embodies history.

[@sistacarol2742]

So true

[@carolhowell3739]

Wow

[@BlackBeauty-yl8uq]

Interviewer is definitely a rookie but lovely interview.

[@user-wu6cm4bu2f]

Interviewer is not consistent she jump around with the questions

[@vinnette4583]

that lady that doing the interview have no compassion on the elderly she just throing the question like that give the lady a little time to talk

[@kristoffdixon390]

That person who's conducting the interview should immediately be fired,she don't got no sympathy or soft spot knowing that it's a elder lady...she's just aggressive

[@dianedaley3809]

This interviewer is inexperienced. Please be prepared next time.

[@Concerned-b2w]

True, true.

[@westkingston3135]

REMEMBER WHEN "RESPECTABLE" JAMAICAN WOMEN SOUND THIS WAY?? WAAAY BEFORE ' UNDER MI NOSE AND OBEAH WEDDING?
