any old hep c people?

Hi
I always have these little Hep C related questions pop up in my head and just love that I can put them out there and that maybe there is someone who knows the answer.

I would like to know if anyone knows what age the oldest person with Hep C is?  Not some oldie who just got it but someone who might be able to trace it back years and years. Has Hep C always been around?
