The Oldest Man In America
GREAT FALLS, Mont. — Walter Breuning learned to read by kerosene lantern, remembers his grandfather telling him about fighting in the Civil War, and cast his first presidential ballot for Woodrow Wilson.
The 112-year-old resident of Great Falls, Mont., apparently became the world's oldest man when 113-year-old Henry Allingham of England died Saturday. Breuning was born Sept. 21, 1896.
Now living at the Rainbow Retirement Home, Breuning takes one aspirin and eats two meals a day. He strolls the halls wearing a suit and tie and still walks the ramps to his second-floor apartment.
Breuning said he's more grateful for his health than he is for a world title.
"If you're in good health, you've got everything there is," he told the Great Falls Tribune.
Steve Hartman presents this weeks Assignment America where 112-year-old Walter Breuning proudly stands as the oldest man currently living in the nation.
