Alf Landon marks 100 in quiet Kansas celebration
Alf Landon, the 1936 GOP loss symbol, turns 100 on September 9 in Jopeka Kansas. He remains fit, walks daily with a cane, enjoys visits from friends, and finds humor in past defeats. His daughter Nancy aids his hearing with a lap amplifier as he follows TV news and Cardinals games.

Centenarian Painter David Kane Defines Youth By Work
J Kane 102 says work keeps him young as he paints over 60 canvases a year and volunteers for the American Heart Association in South Florida. Born in Western Russia, he moved to the United States with his family after funds from his older brother Mendel. Kane lives alone in Florida, drives none, relies on buses, cooks two meals daily, and teaches children to paint while recalling a long life and the loss of his wife in 1971.
