106 and counting

Decatur Daily Democrat:

A special party was held at Evergreen Court on January 6 in honor of Ralph Kenworthy, who celebrated his 106 birthday with family and friends.

Born in Camden, Ohio, on January 6, 1906, Ralph has been a fixture in Decatur for most of his life. Up until a few years ago, Ralph was still living in his own apartment and could be seen driving through town on his way to a variety of restaurants for a bite to eat, or perhaps to a local bar to play pool against the "younger boys," referring to his friends.

"They were only in their 80's," Kenworthy commented.

During his 106 years, there is very little Ralph hasn't seen or done. He enjoys traveling, although he admits this is a bit more difficult nowadays, and spent a great deal of time looking for "good fishing holes."
