Centenarian
This 110 year 320 day-old American man of Native American, African American and Swedish descent — was the 44th oldest living person in the world when this photo by Mirko was published on January 7th 2008. I don't know if he is still alive.
His father stood on the platform next to President Abraham Lincoln as Lincoln gave the Gettysburg Address. His father was the illegitimate son of Lincoln’s Vice-President, Andrew Johnson, who became President after Lincoln’s assassination.
