90-year-young Granny Makes Splash on Birthday, Swims with Dolphins
Orlando, FL (February 28, 2005)

Family Makes Grandma's Birthday "Fishes" Come True

Ida Mae Keith of Knoxville, Tennessee dived into her 90th birthday in a most unusual and daring way…by swimming with dolphins at Discovery Cove in Orlando. Three generations experienced the thrill together – Ms. Keith, her daughter and grandchildren – while the rest of her party cheered from the beach.

Ms. Keith received birthday kisses and "fishes" from the dolphins – including a personalized "Happy Birthday" buoy delivered by her new flippered friends.

An active senior, Ms. Keith was determined to outdo her 80th birthday feat – riding in a hot air balloon.

Ms. Keith is a longtime Floridian who recently moved to Knoxville. She has six grandchildren and 13 great grandchildren.
