Letha Frazier votes!
Letha Frazier, resident of the Mennonite Manor campus, enjoyed two monumental highlights this fall. She voted as she has in every presidential election since she became an eligible voter. And she turned 99.

In 1932 - her first election - she voted for President Herbert Hoover in his bid for a second term in the White House. Franklin Delano Roosevelt won that election and since that time Letha has typically voted for democratic presidential nominees.

Frazier was 12 years old in 1920, when the U.S. Constitutional Amendment gave women the right to vote. Having followed the political process all her life, voting in this year's election was very important to her. "It's probably my last vote," she noted, as she held the envelope containing her advance ballot for the November 4 election.
