Over at his blog colleague Scott Wells makes sure that Walter Cronkite’s death doesn’t mean we miss the passing of the world’s oldest man, one of the last surviving WW I veterans, Henry Allingham, who died the same day as the renowned newsman, in his case at the age of 113 years, forty two days.
Mr Allingham’s advice for long life was simple, and actually the reason I felt it necessary to post the notice of his death here.
“Cigarettes, whiskey and wild, wild women…”
There was also something about maintaining a sense of humor.
Sound advice, I’m sure…
