Halie Forstner as a child
Halie Gass Forstner lived through the Spanish flu and she has thus far survived the coronavirus as she soon turns 110.
Ms. Forstner this past week made the move into Morning Pointe of Chattanooga at Shallowford.
Born in 1911 on the Georgia side of Sand Mountain, she is no stranger to the challenges a pandemic puts on a nation. As a young child, she endured the Spanish Flu of 1918 and lost friends and family members to the illness.
She vividly remembers keeping a safe distance from her father as he battled - and eventually beat - the Spanish flu. She and her mother took a wagon from their home on the mountain to Chattanooga to get vaccinated against that virus.
