A LADY, WHO LIVES JUST NORTH OF SAN FRANCISCO, DECIDED SHE WANTED TO RIDE THE SANTA CRUZ LOOF CAROUSEL TO CELEBRATE HER BIRTHDAY…AND THE CAROUSEL’S. BOTH TURNED 101 YEARS-OLD THIS MONTH. MARGIE GAGNEBIN AND HER SON AND DAUGHTER-IN-LAW, AND A MULTITUDE OF GRANDCHILDREN RODE THE NATIONAL HISTORIC LANDMARK THIS AFTERNOON.
THE CENTENARIAN, WHO STILL HAS ALL OF HER FACULTIES AND LIVES INDEPENDENTLY, RODE ONE OF THE HORSES ON THE CAROUSEL (AT THE SANTA CRUZ BEACH BOARDWALK)…UNLIKE MANY OTHER ELDERLY PEOPLE WHO CHOOSE TO RIDE IN THE CHARIOTS.
