82 Years Strong

Bill Stevens: HOLIDAY — Steve Wrubel fixed a light breakfast Tuesday morning and sat down at the dining room table to pay some bills. He blinked hard to make his eyes water.

"I saw better yesterday," said Wrubel, 102.

Still, he managed to make out the cable bill — $78.06. Seems like a lot for a man who doesn't watch television. He also paid his car insurance bill — $1,160 for six months coverage on the old Chevy he keeps in the carport. He stopped driving last year, but keeps the car so friends and neighbors can use it to take him shopping and, more important, to visit his beloved Vickie.

Today marks their 82nd wedding anniversary.

Think about that for awhile.
