Arnold D. Langmaid, Danville’s oldest man number two

On Wednes­day, March 27, 2013, the Soci­ety award­ed the sec­ond old­est man liv­ing in Danville award to Arnold D. Lang­maid of North Danville. He is our num­ber two old­est, because we had missed him in our ear­li­er search for Danville’s old­est man. The first is Gor­don Bess of Danville.

Arnold was born on July 5, 1919, mak­ing him 93 years old, turn­ing 94 this sum­mer. Hope­ful­ly, we will have more infor­ma­tion about his life next month. We pre­sent­ed the award at the St. Johns­bury Health and Rehab cen­ter where Arnold and his wife Shirley are present­ly liv­ing. They have been mar­ried for near­ly 71 years! (That may be some sort of record in itself!)

Con­grat­u­la­tions to both of our old­est men–Gordon Bess and Arnold Langmaid.
