That’s the year Jacques Bernard was born. He was born in Angle Inlet. There’s a rumor that he still lives there. I know it’s crazy, but I had to find out for myself. So I set out for Angle Inlet to see if I could find the oldest man on earth.
Angle Inlet is a tiny, secluded town. Technically, it’s in Minnesota. But to get there, you have to go into Manitoba and then back south. Outside Alaska, it’s the only place in the United States north of the forty-ninth parallel. The French built a fort there in 1732.

This is one of those "Lady or the Tiger," or "supply your own ending" stories, Don. Perhaps you would like to follow through with a worthy sequel? I keep asking myself: "Did he find the oldest man on earth--or didn't he?" The suspense keeps me awake nights!
