Wow, that is crazy. First thought is I could never imagine having a kid at that age. Raising children is young people's work.

Thought 1a: Tyler still had game in his 60s and 70s. Pretty awesome.

2nd thought is how cool is it to tell people today you're a grandchild of a man born in the 18th century??? I think it's pretty cool.

My own grandfather was born in 1899, before the Wright brothers flew, and lived to see a man walk on the moon.

And I thought THAT was pretty amazing. Tyler was born a full century before my granddad. Wow.
