The community knows you are never too old to build assets and Monday the community turned out to wish longtime residents Marjorie Porter a happy 100th birthday and Loring Cox a happy 101st birthday!

The local senior center hopes many will send their pictures to the local media to share the moment and allow the love to flow through the photographs.

Los Alamos Police Department, Los Alamos Fire Department. Atomic City Transit, Los Alamos County employees, residents, Los Alamos Retired and Senior Organization, (LARSO) staff and members came together to boost spirits and commemorate two lifetimes of love and kindness.
