INW: Jumping Octagenarian

Lena Thomas gets ready to BASE jump Twin Falls recently. Thomas checked off another item on her to-do list last week when she and 58-year-old daughter Terri Scott, of Concord, Calif., BASE jumped off the Perrine Bridge. Both jumped tandem with an instructor, and an observer found Thomas remarkable. Story here. (AP Photo/Lena Thomas)
