Meet Robert Pershing Wadlow, the tallest person in history at 8 ft. 11.1 inches and 439 pounds. He had a condition called HYPERTROPHY of the pituitary gland and was still growing at the age of 22 when he died. At 5 years of age, Wadlow was already 5'4" and 105 pounds. AMAZING!

This is my daughter's size 7 Ladies foot next to Wadlow's size 37AA Men's size shoe...custom made, of course.

Here I am with our youngest daughter, Katie. I'm 5'8" for comparison. The statue is in Alton, IL which was the home of Wadlow.
