We're only having "XXX dead at..." threads, so why not to focus on the opposite side of the coin for once?

Walter Scheel, former Vice Chancellor (1969-1974) and President (1974-1979) of West Germany is still alive at 96.

Important to notice in this context, his rendition of the traditional German tune "Hoch auf dem gelben Wagen" (Upon the yellow (mail) coach), that he recorded while in office as secretary of state in 1973. ;-)
