Hey, we shared a birthday, March 19th. I’ve lifted weights and competed in scottish games and strongman stuff for 20 years now. I can’t do what he did and I weigh almost 2 of him.

Don’t know if it was mentioned in MSM.

Neo — great story! And nice diversion from the politics we see reach new lows daily!

I’d never heard about Joe Rollino. But I’m glad that I have now. Unbelievable, at 104, after living such a life, to be felled by a minivan!

She was 100.

Gives me shot in the arm, a kick in the pants, a jolt of adrenaline. Keep on working out and eating right – you can live longer and more fully.

God bless and keep Joe Rollino.

Whatever it was, it ought to be the standard physical regimen of school kids and the military. I’ve always thought gym memberships were a scam.
