Oldest living triplets in US celebrate 95th birthday

Born in 1920, triplets Catherine, Frances, and Marguerite Kirchner remember living through the Great Depression, Pearl Harbor and the trials of World War II together.

 

Now, the trio are celebrating their 95th birthday together in an Albany, New York, hotel – all wearing the same outfit. The sisters are the oldest living triplets in the United States, reports WNYT. 

Born in Brooklyn, New York, the women were a big surprise to their mother (and to their doctor). The three gals were raised in Long Island and led similar lives. All three attended William Smith College, married Hobart alumni and became teachers. 

The triplets live in separate cities in New York and Pennsylvania nowadays, but they do their best to get together in a central city, like Albany, to celebrate their birthday.
