Octogenarian Sara Shipe of Grafton – she’s 88, same as Betty – gets the spotlight now.
White is coming off last week’s wildly successful hosting job at “Saturday Night Live.” Agreed, she was fabulous and funny.

“It felt pretty good after lying in bed all that time,” she said.
Now she’s back to weekly dance lessons at Fred Astaire Dance Studios in Mequon and working out again with a personal trainer.
