I came across George Perryman's biography recently. The full biography
is worth reading and can be found here:

One passage caught my attention:
"When I was nine or 10, my mother, Nell, went to Elizabethtown, Kentucky,
and bought me a model airplane kit for 25-cents. She helped me cut out
all the pieces using scissors, which broke most of the balsa wood. We
didn’t get the model finished, so she bought me a 10-cent stick model,
which would fly across the street.
"My mother died last year at 100-years-old. When she was 98-1/2, she
assembled a simple all-balsa model, the Centurion. She was tickled beyond
words when National Model Aviation Museum Curator Michael Smith installed
it in a glass case next to one of mine in the AMA museum. She was my
greatest supporter for 76 years."
Here's to Nell Perryman.
