A news item from CNN.Com in 2009.

Father Theodore Heck, believed to be the oldest Benedictine monk in the world, died Wednesday at the age of 108, his abbey in Indiana announced. Born in Iowa in 1901, Heck was less than a month shy of celebrating his 80th anniversary as a priest.

He reminds me of Father Winance who taught at the Claremont Graduate School. Nuns and monks seem to have an edge on longevity, yes? Evidently Father Heck took up Spanish at 99 and computers at 100.
