Age 113 is pretty amazing. I remember seeing the video on CBS SUNDAY morning in April, and Walter really is pretty sharp.
Just putting it into context; Walter was born before the Wright Brothers' flight at Kittyhawk. The first motion pictures played in the nickelodeons of America's cities- for five cents. The Spanish-American War had yet to fought, and Teddy Roosevelt was "Teddy Who?". And Butch Cassidy, The Sundance Kid, and rest of the Hole In The Wall Gang were still robbing banks and trains in Utah, Wyoming, and Montana.
This is a man I'd love to spend a few minutes with
I agree, and I hope there is an extensive oral history taken from his recollections. Wherever possible, this should be done with very old people.
This man was of the same generation as my dad. My dad would tell me of life growing up in the early 20th century, where it was still much like the 19th. He had the best of both worlds because he lived through so much history. He died in 1997.
