It would be nice to know his "secret" to longevity. I hope he is in good health.

I didn't even know that there was anybody that fought in World War 1 that was still alive. My great uncle, and my grandaddy both fought in World War 1. They were doughboys. I hope this man lives a lot longer, and that he is healthy, and still able to enjoy living.
