91-year-old square dance caller thrives

ROXBURY, Conn. (UPI) -- A 91-year-old Connecticut man said he must be "doing something right" to still be healthy and calling square-dances after 62 years on the job.

When people ask Culver Griffin, of Roxbury, Conn., how he has lived to be 91, he said he simply tells them "I haven't died yet."

"But beyond that, I've been dancing for 75 years, and I have my own knees and my own hips and most of my friends who are 60-year-olds have metal hips, so I guess I'm doing something right," he said.

Griffin, who has survived two angioplasties and two heart attacks, began square dancing when he was 18 and has been calling the dances since 1946, The New York Times reported Thursday.

Griffin said his 57-year-old wife and good genetics help keep him young.

He still calls dances every Friday at a senior living facility in Bethel, Conn.
