Sources say Helen Lang is 90 years old, but the longtime News Review columnist refuses to reveal her age.
“I’m not telling you my age. I’ve lied about it so often I’m not sure myself how old I am,” she said.
Lang celebrated her Christmas Day birthday on Dec. 28 alongside more than 60 family members and friends at the Holy Trinity church hall.
“It was specific no one was to bring a gift, mind you a few people brought flowers,” the garden columnist said. “Everybody was told no gifts. I’ve got so much junk I don’t want any more.”
After more than three decades writing for the PNR, Lang has no plans to put down her pen.
“Oh God no. I love it. I absolutely love it,” she said. “It’s made me so many friends.”
