Rose Hacker, who was thought to be the oldest living newspaper columnist (at least the Guinness Book of Records says so), passed away Monday after a short illness. Hacker, 101, wrote a biweekly column for the Camden New Journal in London. A former author and sex columnist, Hacker published her first column in September 2006.

Never too late to try something new.
