Larry Haubner, 107 years old.

Ask Larry Haubner for the secret to living 107 years, and the Fredericksburg man flexes his biceps, flashes a mostly toothless smile and growls. "Nutrition!" he bellows. "Exercise! I think we should all exercise more than we do."

But the self-described health nut's longevity means he's outlived his savings -- twice.

Two years ago, supporters raised $56,000 to help Haubner stay at Greenfield, the assisted living center he calls home. "I was sure that was going to be sufficient," said Carol Ewing of Bridges Senior Care Solutions, who holds power of attorney to manage Haubner's affairs.
