FRYER FEATURE: TEXAS COUPLE SETS RECORD

Texans are a special lot, going about living and working, for the most part, under the radar of celebrity and spotlight. But here’s a worthy case for highlight.

A Texas couple has been declared the oldest living married couple on Earth.

John and Charlotte Henderson of Austin will celebrate 80 years of marriage next month. 

John is 106 years old, and Charlotte is 105. Guinness World Records has officially named them the oldest living couple in the world. John is also the oldest living former University of Texas football player.

They met at UT and married there in 1939 and live in the Longhorn Village Retirement Community. John still works out every day; they attend Horns football games each year and as for their secret to long term wedded bliss? To live life in moderation and be cordial to each other.
