And actually, by the end of the day, he had 93 rides on the Jack Rabbit. He also got to ride in the Kennywood Trolley for the Fall Fantasy parade.

You don't stop riding because you get old, you get old because you stop riding.

Well, where was Vic from 1920 to 1958? I am going to ask him.

He moved to Pittsburgh in 1959.

I think he has a good excuse at least till 1932.
