Winterborne Monkton, England, United Kingdom (AHN) -- The Guinness Book of World Records is recognizing a British man who has been delivering newspapers for 68 years.
Ted Ingram, 90, is in the process of being certified as the world's longest-serving paper delivery boy, according to Guinness record officials.
According to Guinness researchers, Ingram, of Winterborne Monkton, England, started delivering papers in 1942. Since then, he has taken only two vacations and one leave of absence because of medical reasons.
