That's a long time! Think maybe he had a FWB on the side to keep him healthy? If so, I need to find one!

I bought two studebaker 6wd trucks a few weeks back to restore.
they built stuff to last back in the earlier days.

Good luck in finding parts for them. More on Studebaker.

I was thinking it was possible that this guy was the Little Johnny that so many people post about, but it turns out his name was Frank

I'm always amazed when people live past 100. He was definitely doing something right.

What a coincidence......my sister and I were talking just last week about WWI vets and wondering if any were still alive. I guess at the time we were talking about it, one was.

Wow, 110 years old. That's a long life.

I think some of the women in my family might just get close to that. My aunt is 97 and still doing all her own housework and just stopped mowing her own lawn two years ago.

I think living that long is more genetics than anything else as two of my great aunts lived to be well over 100.
