[CBQ] Oldest man in the world has left us after 114 years.

["BillG" <Qglick@hotmail.com>]

Walter Breuning died this past week in Great Falls, MT. He was born in Melrose, 
Minnesota in 1896. 

It's of significance to railroad fans because he lied about his age, and got a 
job with the Great Northern Railway at age 16.  He moved to Great Falls two 
years later, and remained a loyal railroad man for the rest of his life, 
working with GN for 50 years.  BNSF honored him a few years ago.

This goes to show you that being a railroad fan contributes to living a long 
life! 

An obituary was printed in the San Jose Mercury News on Friday, April 15, and 
also my wife is from Great Falls, MT, where Walter was a well-known celebrity 
who entertained famous guests from around the world.

Best,
Bill Glick
