   I recently had the pleasure of meeting Louise Reichert. Mrs. Reichert will become a Centenarian on September 16, 2006. Mrs. Reichert and her husband Victor were friends with Robert Frost. Mrs Reichert spends her summers in Ripton on Frost Highway. She has been active in the Cincinnati Ohio Conservatory of Flower Arranging.

Mrs.Reichert graduated from Smith College in 1928. Asked about fond memories, she recalls her first automobile being a 1925 Oveland that could do a top speed of 35 miles per hour downhill! Gasoline was 20¢ a gallon unless there was a gas war going on, then it was priced at six gallons for $1.00.

Mrs. Reichert remains active in physical fitness in the winter months working out about three days a week at Christ Hospital Cardiac Rehab in Cincinnati. She indicates the tread-mill and the bicycle are two of her favorite exercises. She also likes to read.

Joining the celebration will be her two sons; Dr. Jonathan Reichert of Buffalo, N.Y. and Attorney David Reichert of Cinncinnati and their families. Mrs Reichert’s husband, Rabbi Victor Reichert passed away in 1991.  Enjoy your special day, Mrs. Reichert and we all wish you many, many, more.
