Port Jeff Resident Celebrates 105th Birthday

Anna Mario celebrated her birthday at Rose Caracappa Senior Center in Mount Sinai.

In 1907, Theodore Roosevelt shook a record 8,513 hands in one day. That year, Ringling Brothers Greatest Show on Earth bought Barnum and Bailey circus and it was also the first year that the ball dropped in Times Square to herald in the new year.

It was also the year that Anna Mario was born. Mario celebrated her birthday on Wednesday at the Rose Caracappa Senior Center in Mount Sinai along with Brookhaven Town Receiver of Taxes, Louis Marcoccia. Last year, Councilwoman Jane Bonner helped Mario celebrate.

Mario turned 105 this year.
