MAKE YOUR MONDAY: Meet The Washington Redskins' Oldest Fan!
By @TobyChilliShow
Carletha "Nana" West, born on July 18, 1912, celebrated her 107th birthday and if that is not cool enough, she celebrated with the Washington Redskins.
West has been following the team since the NFL Championships of the 1930s and 1940s, the drought of the 1950s and 1960s, and the golden era of Joe Gibbs and his quarterback trinity. All the way to the present day. Almost nine decades and counting.
Given her standing as a lifelong fan of the Washington Redskins, her birthday was celebrated with a visit from team president Bruce Allen and commentator Larry Michael. Allen gave West a custom jersey with her nickname and the No. 107 on the back. Allen, with a smile, proclaimed about her gift, “When you see it, you’ll know that no one else has it”. West was very appreciative of the gracious gesture, and the two took photos at her current residence.
