At 91, he could be, and he's still in better shape than lots of the younger officers on the Jacksonville Police Dept. I've watched him direct traffic for more than 35 years and still fall apart when I see him standing in the blazing summer sun, spotless white shirt and white gloves, stopping traffic and holding a perfect salute as every last car in a funeral procession makes the turn into the veteran's cemetery. Jacksonville officer may be oldest on duty in country :: WRAL.com He showed me his drivers license when he was in his mid 80's and I couldn't believe my eyes. Officer X.Y. Brown is something of a local legend around here. Drop him in the middle of the biggest intersection and he'll keep traffic flowing smooth as silk. He'll be celebrating a birthday next month.
