Five people who grew up during the Great Depressions celebrated more than a century of life, surrounded by their families, staff, and fellow residents at a Boston senior care facility.
The German Centre in West Roxbury hosted a special tea party Wednesday for Dorothy Appel, 102; Mary Kingsbery, 101; Theresa DeSantis, 103; Louis Lusardi, 103, and Stanley Ng, the youngest of the group at 100.
