Desmond Yert

    By @ThatTechGuy2007
    I am Desmond Yurt, I was born January 6th, 1919 which makes me 105 years old, in fact I just turned 105, boy have I lived a long time, I'm a WWII Veteran, I helped open the doors of Rebmans Recreational Center in 1946, I remember the date RadioShack opened their doors in 1921, granted I was only 2, I am older than the T.V, I am a retired Science teacher too. I've done a LOT in my time, hopefully I live to 110, now THAT would be an accomplishment
