The name might not ring a bell with most readers, but Ut took one of the most iconic news photographs of the Vietnam War, a black-and-white 1972 image of a young unclothed South Vietnamese girl running away from the burning effects of a napalm strike. Ut participated in a journalism panel in May in front of an audience eager to hear him talk about the photo. Others who have covered wars were also on the panel.

Around the world are longevity “hot spots,” called blue zones, in which there is an excess of people living beyond 100 and continuing to live active, productive lives.

And should Boulder City be considered a blue zone, as despite blowing asbestos dust and desert conditions, many of our seniors are leading active lives well into their 80s and 90s?
