At 100, He's Still Not the Oldest in the Family

(Dec. 21) -- If you're celebrating your 100th birthday, chances are pretty good that you're the oldest person in the room.

But that wasn't the case for George Keller.

For his centennial celebration on Saturday, his big brother, Charles, who's 101, made the trip to Chicago from California, reported the Chicago Tribune.

So, what's the family secret?

"I think a lot of (the longevity) has to do with genetics, inheritance," Charles told the Tribune.

"I think it's going to become a pretty regular thing for people. Here's two (centenarians) in the same family," George said.
