World's Oldest Man Celebrates His 113th Birthday(Brian Schweitzer)

Montana Governor Brian Schweitzer (L) holds Walter Breuning's birthday cake during Breuning's 113th birthday celebration on September 21, 2009 at the Rainbow retirement home in Great Falls, Montana. Breuning, born Sept. 21, 1896 in Melrose Minnesota, inherited the title of "World's Oldest Man" when Henry Allingham of England died last July 18. Breuning moved to Great Falls in 1918 with the expansion of the railroad and worked in the railroad business for 50 years. He says he stays healthy by eating just two meals per day and exercises by strolling the halls of the retirement home with the aid of a walker. His earliest memory is of hearing his grandfather talk about fighting as a Union soldier in the Civil War.
