"Oldest man," Brit Henry Allingham dies
From the Great Falls Tribune. The Oldest Man in the World may now be Walter Breuning, a Montana man. The story is mostly about the man Allingham was. There are so few left now...the era is not 'passing' - it HAS passed.

Our grandfather enlisted in 1917. He was preparing to ship out to Europe when the Armistice was signed in 1918. His headstone in Malta, Montana still says US Army 1917-1918. Sadly he passed in February of 1963 when Pixie's Grandma and I were just little kids.

I have a digital picture of that headstone somewhere on the memory of this computer.
