And, might i ask, how old was she?

We have a very elderly woman, close to 90, who attends events in a
wheel chair. Camping events. Of course, she isn't doing it alone, but
with her grandson and his wife, with whom she lives. People are all
polite to her. Of course, as i mentioned, we have quite a few people
in wheelchairs at camping events - camping in tents. No motorized
ones, that i recall, however, although there's a woman in one in the
Las Vegas area, IIRC.

I know that we have people in their 60's playing in our Kingdom (and
some on this list, too :-), and some older come to the more
"civilized" (indoor) events.

Heck, at the Goth clubs i sometimes go to, i saw a women well in her
70s in a red velvet dress. No one chased her out, either. (i saw her
more than once, too) I'll confess that she wasn't dancing, just
hanging out, but a lot of the Goths i know just hang out and don't
dance, either.
