Last update I can find quickly is someone being amazed at how mentally fit he still was at his 104th birthday: https://forthelifeofme-film.com/2018/08/15/my-search-for-don-lusk/ Wasn't there a dr in Australia earlier this year who was 104, flew to Switzerland and had an inquest to his mental fitness, which was found to be quite acute? Maybe Lusk thinking the same thing! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
