GREAT FALLS - America's oldest man, Walter Breuning of Great Falls, is scheduled to be featured on the CBS "Evening News" on Friday. The segment is expected to air at about 5:20 p.m. MDT.

Breuning, who turned 112 last September, became America's oldest man in late December. He was recently featured in a Montana PBS Documentary called "A Conversation with Walter." Breuning learned to read by a kerosene lantern and remembers hearing the first words come over his radio. He knew James J. Hill, founder of the Great Northern Railroad, and often saw Charlie Russell in the Mint Bar in Great Falls. He says the secret to living a long life is to keep your mind and body active.
