Birthday Man Dies

Posted on 19:15 by blogger
Elwyn W. Lancaster, who died Sunday in Lee, had a peculiar talent.
Elwyn had a remarkable memory for dates and numbers and was known in the community as the "Birthday Man." He loved to greet people by their birth dates as he sat at McDonald's. Often times, he would receive birthday cards signed only with birth dates. He could recite hundreds of birthdays, anniversaries and social security numbers. He was even interviewed by the local news station for this tremendous talent.
