Oregon's oldest man just turned 108 — his secret is a good attitude

Beryl Dillman, believed to be Oregon's oldest person, celebrated his 108th birthday at his assisted-living home in Eugene — blowing out candles beneath 108 blue balloons. The great-grandfather of 19 uses a walker but stays sharp and keeps singing. Asked for his secret, he told Oregon Public Broadcasting: watch what you eat and drink (he never touched alcohol). His daughter says his real trademark is simpler: a positive, problem-solving attitude.
