An Irish-born man in California named Morris Cantley is a chipper 102, and it’s a plausible hypothesis that it’s his choice of reading matter as well as his fondness for citrus fruits that may have done the trick. Bobbe Monk writes in The Daily Facts:

Morris Cantley reads four newspapers, one news magazine and the New Yorker magazine nearly every day; exercises for one to two hours in exercise classes; and leads a semi-vegetarian lifestyle.

He said he is amazed at cell phones, considering them a blessing especially in emergencies; decries the necessity of security guards in so many places and likes sports, especially Golden Bears football and basketball and the Lakers.

He is 102.

A resident of Plymouth Village since 1982, Cantley has diabetes and is hard of hearing, but that doesn’t stop this centenarian who is a popular resident at the village.

A native of Dublin, Ireland, he came to the United States when he was just a baby, his family settling on the West Coast. His father worked for Edison, finding a job just two days after arriving and staying with the company until he retired.
…
Over the years Morris was active in the UC Berkeley Alumni Association, the Inland “Cs,” was for many years Scholarship chairman for San Bernardino County; served on the 1973 Grand Jury and was a member of the Grand Jury Association. He was also a member of the San Bernardino County Museum, World Affairs Council of Southern California, Kimberly-Shirk Association, Friends of he A.K. Smiley Public Library, Redlands Art Association, Edward-Dean Museum in Cherry Valley and an honorary member of the Democratic Club.
…
Another part of his health regime is to eat oranges every day, from one to two, as well as drinking orange juice frequently. He likes all kinds of fruit including bananas, pineapple, grapes and melons. He eats a lot of vegetables, but not much meat.
…
Looking back a little, he said there were some good things about the “good old days.”

“Doctors came to your home when you were sick. You didn’t have to sit around in a waiting room full of old magazines.” Of course now he doesn’t have to either, the doctors come to him.

Depends which old magazines, doesn’t it? Just think, TNY wasn’t even around till he was 21!
