In Ponte Vedra Beach, the St. Johns County Council on Aging rolled out the red carpet for the community's oldest residents during its recent Centenarian Luncheon. Commissioner Clay Murphy from District 3 took on the role of honored guest and representative for the County Commissioners, schmoozing with the attendees, who have seen the better part of a century—or more.

Amidst the light chatter and clinking of flatware at THE PLAYERS Community Senior Center, more than 50 individuals aged 90 and above were the stars of the show this past Thursday. These were not just any seniors; they included folks like Josephine Trinca, who at 103 years old, carries stories and wisdom from a time many of us have only read about in history books. According to the official press release by the St. Johns County, Commissioner Murphy personally visited with Trinca and her family, marking the special occasion with conversation and celebration. Think of it as a small token of recognition for the incredible journeys these individuals have undergone.
