I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

5. WW2PH1_151207_194.JPG: Frank Levingston From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Frank Levingston (November 13, 1905 – May 3, 2016) was an American supercentenarian. He was the oldest living man in the United States and the oldest verified surviving American World War II veteran. He was born in Louisiana, one of seven children. He was of African-American heritage. Levingston enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1942. He served as a private during the war in the Allied invasion of Italy which lasted from September 1943 to January 1944. After receiving an honorable discharge in 1945, he became a union worker specializing in cement finishing. Levingston never married. On August 16, 2015, he became the oldest recognized living military veteran in United States, following the death of Emma Didlake. Levingston became the oldest living American man on April 19, 2016 following the death of Felix Simoneaux (born May 24, 1905). He lived in Lake Charles, Louisiana until his death in May 2016 at the age of 110.

He was the oldest living man in the United States and the oldest verified surviving American World War II veteran. He was born in Louisiana, one of seven children. He was of African-American heritage. Levingston enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1942. He served as a private during the war in the Allied invasion of Italy which lasted from September 1943 to January 1944. After receiving an honorable discharge in 1945, he became a union worker specializing in cement finishing. Levingston never married. On August 16, 2015, he became the oldest recognized living military veteran in United States, following the death of Emma Didlake. Levingston became the oldest living American man on April 19, 2016 following the death of Felix Simoneaux (born May 24, 1905). He lived in Lake Charles, Louisiana until his death in May 2016 at the age of 110.
