This is my aunt, Golda Vishvevetskaya, nee Shubinskaya, my father's sister. The photo was taken in 1962 in Zvenigorodka.
It's amazing, I have lately paid attention to the fact that we probably have some special genes in us - we all live very long. My uncle Godl lived for 100 years - he died exactly at the age of 100. My aunt Golda was born in 1878 in Zvenigorodka and died in 1965. So she lived for 90 years. My mother died when she was 86, but she was ill; she had cancer. I will also turn 100 soon - in about five years.
