Lady Meets Penguin for First Time

It finally happened: Bertha Komor’s lifelong dream of holding a penguin came true. The 104-year-old Connecticut, resident was able to meet Mr. Red Green of the Mystic Aquarium. The aquarium and Twilight Wish Connecticut, an organization that grants wishes for senior citizens, made the surprise visit happen, bringing Mr. Red Green to Komor’s retirement community. “I didn’t expect this,” she told WFSB. “Best part was petting him and seeing him close up.” She laughed and smiled as Mr. Red Green curled up on her lap, content with the attention he was receiving.
