Bastrop County, Texas, welcomed Mr. Overton into the world on May 11, 1906, and he still calls it home. Plans are underway for a block party to celebrate the occasion. The United States Army Air Forces veteran and member of the all-black 1887th Engineer Aviation Battalion the told a local paper on Wednesday that he’s always open to whiskey for a birthday present. "I like any kind you’ll bring me," Mr. Overtontold the Austin-American Statesman. The veteran, who served in the Pacific Theater from 1942 to 1945, adds a bit of whiskey to his morning coffee, which he also enjoys with cigars. |

#3 adds a bit of whiskey to his morning coffee. He may not live to be a 125 if he continues this routine. I'll bet he has outlived all his doctors who recommended that he change his life style. Thanks Mr. Overton for your service--a part of the greatest generation. |
