Either one of these is a typo or the AP doesn't know basic math. :-)  Fred
was either born 1890 (91 depending on his birthday) or he's only 105.
Given he apparently drove until 107, I'll guess the 1898 is a typo.
I hope I can still drive, walk, garden and, of course, keep bees when
I'm 107--bee pollen or not! :-)
