When he was 94, Jack was asked if he thought he'd live to be 100. His answer was to the point. &quot;I don't care how old I live! I just want to be living while I am living! I have friends who are in their 80s, and now they're in wheelchairs or they're getting Alzheimer's. Who wants that? I want to be able to do things. I want to look good. I don't want to be a drudge on my wife and kids. And I want to get my message out to people.&quot; He smiled. &quot;I tell people, <span style="font-style: italic"><span style="text-decoration: underline"><span style="font-weight: bold">I can't afford to die. It would wreck my image.&quot;</span></span></span>
