BIRTHDAY: Anna Pawlak: Anna Pawlak celebrated her 102nd birthday April 12, having been born the day the Titanic set sail.
She had an impromptu party at Live Oak Adult Day Services in Gilroy, after returning from spending a few months in Arizona with her daughter, Marge.
When asked if she saw any coyotes or rattlesnakes while there, she said, “They’d better watch out for ME!”
