99-year-old man drives car, bowls weekly: says secret is eating right, exercise

WATERFORD TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) - Rolla Zuck still drives a car and bowls in the 150s.

Not bad for a 99-year-old.

The Waterford resident turns 100 on Sept. 20 and will celebrate at three parties - one given by his family, one given by neighbours and another at Century Bowl, a local bowling alley.

Zuck bowls in a senior league there each week, averaging around 155. In May, he bowled two 200s, followed by a 170.

He says he also eats right and rides a stationary bike in his apartment.

The Missouri native still drives his own car. He bought his first, a 1918 Model T, for $80.

As for reaching the 100 mark, Zuck says it isn't such a novelty.

"When I was young, there was a man who was 112, and we had a neighbour who was 104," he says. "I guess they just raise them like that in Missouri."
