Harold Boddy celebrated his 100th Birthday on 8th January, 2012 in Melbourne.  Family members totalled 50 and there were many other invited friends, Masonic Lodge members and AMS members in attendance.

St.Oswald’s church in Glen Iris put on a turn for Harold Boddy’s 100th birthday last weekend.
That’s not surprising, he’s the oldest parishioner, but Bill from the church says the birthday was a lot more special than even that.
“When he was born…he was a very sickly baby and they said he would not survive one week” Bill says.
“Is this the medical profession’s longest wrong diagnosis?”
