A lion of a life: At 107, Jermyn man among oldest Americans
I. Leo Moskovitz recalls descending deep into the pitch blackness of the Hudson Coal Co. mine in the 1930s. An accountant who had learned shorthand in college, Mr. Moskovitz accompanied a mine superintendent into the dank tunnels on routine monthly inspections.
Wearing helmets with carbide lamps, the superintendent dictated mine conditions to Mr. Moskovitz, who jotted down notes that he later typed into five-page reports. The experience left him with a lifelong respect for miners and their daily work and hazards.
"I thought I was a bit of a boss, but the first time I went down into the mine, I was scared. It was so dark and black," said Mr. Moskovitz, who will turn 107 on Thursday.

The oldest living American is a 115-year-old Georgia woman, and the oldest living Pennsylvanian is a 111-year-old woman, according to the nonprofit Gerontology Research Group of Los Angeles, although the agency's website did not indicate where in the state she lives.
