This gets me thinking of a former neighbor who was at Pearl Harbor. He moved to another part of the neighborhood, but I have not seen him around in years. Have no way of knowing if he is still around, or in a nursing home or something.

Maybe you can beat his age and set a new record.

R.I.P. Mr Overton.

Glad you were on our side.


Wonder if that Thompson is a 'souvenir' ?

Yes you were and our nation owes you at least gratitude. You (and millions of others) put their lives on the line to save the world and we owe you big time. (Salute)

Isn't it incredulous that he was 112?
I really do not think humans live that long ever.
