Level Roads Are for Sissies Says North Bennington Nonagenarian
North Bennington nonagenarian Elias Elwell, famed for long daily walks with his dog Tippy, plans to celebrate his 92nd birthday on August 6. A former Hall Farm employee and coachman for Gov McCullough, he prefers level road walking to riding. He relishes hills for exercise, recalls old Wall Street travel and New York visits, and stays active with gardening, painting, and family life while sharing views on walking for longevity.
