John Risher Might Be the Coolest Old Guy in America

John Risher is 106 years old. He was born in 1910, used to drive his family's Model T, played football (briefly) in 1931 for the University of Virginia, worked as an ear,nose and throat doctor in Lynchburg, Virginia for 50 years and now works on the statistics team at the University of Virginia home football games. According to the New York Times, he stills drives his car, an hour each way, to the games. He has a hearing aid and a pacemaker, but other than that, no health problems.

He's a good reason to stay healthy and involved in life.
