NY Post
Maine’s oldest lobster trapper just turned 104 — and has no plans to quit anytime soon.
Virginia “Ginny” Oliver celebrated her latest big day last Thursday surrounded by family in Rockland, where they enjoyed her favorite treat of chocolate cake and ice cream, WGME reported.
Ginny, who is the subject of the 2022 kids book “The Lobster Lady,” told author Barbara Walsh that she doesn’t feel old at all — even if she has acquired some more aches in recent years.
“Nobody wants to listen to you complain,” Ginny said.
As for whether she plans on hitting her lobster pots again for this summer’s season, Ginny has no doubts about it.
“Oh, I’m going to go,” she said.

Suddenly, someone had hit a rewind button and everyone had been transported back seven months. It was early spring instead of late fall, it was broiling hot outside the arena walls and not freezing cold. Everyone was back at TD Garden. There were 19,156 frenzied fans on their feet begging for blood, poised for the kill.
