Nearing 107, WWI RCR Vet John Babcock is the lone survivor living life to the fullest, most dream of, with a walker his only impediment, he is like a finely tuned Timex, he has all his working parts, taking a licking and keeps on ticking.  He is planning his 110th birthday, and I think he'll definitely make that with ease. John is certainly a testament of longevity of the human body and mind.
