I was watching my local Dallas evening news when they started talking about a 105 year old man who still drives himself and volunteers at a local hospital. I was shocked! He looked so good! If I were guessing, I wouldn't have thought him to be much over 70 - 75. He seemed a little annoyed that people were surprised that he could still drive - a very interesting guy. He also mentioned that he remembered when Social Security came about. He said they withheld 18 cents out of his $9.00 check! LOL! I didn't catch where he was from....since it was local channel, I'm assuming somewhere in the DFW metroplex. Not many people get to live that long AND be in the shape he is.
