OLDER THAN SUPERMAN AND STILL LEAPING ....

CENTENARIAN IS UPSET AT BREAKING ONLY FIVE WORLD RECORDS!

Don Pellmann,  at 100 years of age, was the most senior athlete in the recently held San Diego Senior Olympics. He became the first centenarian to break 27 seconds in the 100-meter dash and the first to clear an official height in the high jump. He also broke records for men in the 100-and-over age group in the shot-put and the discus and set a record in the long jump. What teed him off was his failure to clear 3 ft 1 3/4 inches in the pole vault, which would have given him a sixth record.  Pellmann, who was born in 1915, is about twenty years older than Superman (where is he now?)  ....  and is still going strong.
