The Secret to My Success

John McGilbery of East St. Louis, Ill., has turned 100. Asked the secret to his long life, McGilbery said he changed his ways. When younger, “I used to drink whiskey in the morning with my breakfast and play cards with my friends until 4:00 in the morning,” he said. When was that? When he was just 85, he said. He’s had a lot of experiences, he added. “There’s been a lot, and I can’t remember most of it.” (AP) ...“Anyone can get old. All you have to do is live long enough.” —Groucho Marx (1895–1977), U.S. comic actor.
