Original Toronto Star caption: 104 and still going strong; Oldest resident at Scarborough's Providence Villa; James Egan enjoys bit of cake and hug from nurse Joyce MacGregor at his 104th birthday party. I guess I've lived so long because I've been making so many blunders; and I'm still making them; he said. He's a nonsmoker who's enjoyed a drop of liquor now and then.
