![97-year-old Tao Porchon-Lynch, Teresa Kay-Aba Kennedy and 114-year-old Bernando LaPallo, in Phoenix, AZ - September 25, 2015](http://0012d0f.netsolhost.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/TaoPorchonLynch_BernandoLaPallo_TeresaKennedy_DSC_1194_72dpi2-150x150.jpg)
How do you live well into your second century? 114-year-old Bernando LaPallo, Jr. has some suggestions. Looking at his supple skin and hearing him talk, you may guess that he is perhaps around 70 years old–if that. He has a cane but hardly uses it as he vibrantly saunters through the room with a healthy dose of charm and charisma. I met him when he was honored at the 4th Annual Senior Awards in Phoenix, Arizona on September 25, 2015 where 97-year-old Tao Porchon-Lynch also received an award.
