World's Oldest Man is a Minnesotan!

Walter Breuning was born in Melrose, Minn. and lived there for 22 years, at which point he moved to Montana and worked on railroads for 50 years. He will celebrate his 113th birthday today, making him the oldest man on Earth.

  1. I like your paragraph because I didn't know about Walter Breuning. Good job on finding a unique topic and a nice public interest story! What year was Breuning born? I realize I could subtract 113 from 2009, but I don't feel like calculating.

  5. Good summary, that's nuts that he is 113, my great-grandma lived until she was 102! Think of all the knowledge he has.
