He lives alone unassisted, does his own shopping on the weekends and travels to the Joondalup campus at least four days a week, making the 90-minute commute that involves catching two buses and a train.

It's fascinating -- and inspiring -- to see how mentally and physically capable some people remain into their 100s.

Is it good genes? Good lifestyle? Good environment? Good luck? Maybe it's all of these.
