May 20, 2010; Source: Herald Sun | There is not much that can be said about Australia’s Christiane Luckart, who at 89 agreed to be Miss September in a calendar the proceeds of which are to go to charity. Not much, that is, that she has not said herself. “I’m at that very happy stage of life—just coming out of late adolescence and sliding into early onset dementia so I thought I should do something crazy while I can still enjoy it.” God bless—she’s living proof that you can have fun and embarass yourself thoroughly while doing good.—Ruth McCambridge
