90-Year-Old Roars That He Is Younger Than His Kid Brother
Snappy repartee was the result yesterday when a reporter telephoned Jesse. G. Bardwell, 1503 11th Ave., to interview him on the occasion of his 92nd birthday.
"Is this Mr. Bardwell?" the reporter asked.
"It's the old man himself," Bardwell roared into the telephone. After establishing that it was, indeed, Bardwell's 92nd birthday, the reporter asked the usual question:
"How do you feel?"
"With my fingers," Bardwell gleefully shouted.
Getting serious for a moment, Bardwell said no active birthday party has been planned, but he and his wife had coffee and cake for visitors who were dropping in from time to time during the afternoon.
A retired farmer and restaurant operator and a resident of the Lewiston area since 1903, Bardwell retired in 1956.
Bardwell related that he telephoned a brother two years his junior in Michigan last week, but concluded after the conversation, "I'm younger than he is."
