Sunny Card (4th) America cracked into Guinness Book of World Records

              America's Oldest Man Alive Has Died.

Salustiano \


    Salustiano Sanchez died at age 112 on Friday the 13th in Western New York. As the oldest man to have been alive in the United States of America, he had experienced several decades of global adaptation. He originated from Spain as a musician to migrate to Cuba becoming a sugar plantation worker. After so many years of labor Sanchez found himself in America's Blue Grass state Kentucky working the coal mines. After marrying his wife in Niagara Falls he continues on a happy life as an American. As his age increased, so did publicity by the Guinness World Record Book. Although they had taken much interest in Sanchez, he did not care much for the fame; Feeling that his age was not an instigator for success or accomplishment.

     A man who has the ability to live for 112 years is one worth recognizing. "A banana a day" was how he described his success to a growing age. The idea that he looked at the consumption of his daily banana as a health aid in comparison to an apple could be a way to encourage children and adults to take consideration to their diet and eat more natural foods. However, later in the article the author degrades the empathetic structure of Salustiano Sanchez's story by outdoing him with other foreign elders of higher age marks. Regardless to the authors down play, the light out of his excess information is the idea of long life is now becoming a common possibility.

  1. That's so cool! I find it heartwarming that despite living in so many different countries, he identified himself as an American. It's also funny how with modern medicine, his secret was a banana a day. I'll be sure to go out and buy some bananas for my lunch.
