News from all over - Langley
Alden Couch, who celebrated his 101st birthday Monday, just passed his Washington state driver's test and says he did so with flying colors. "I haven't parallel parked for 10 years and I sailed through it like nothing," he said recently.
A resident of the Whidbey Island town of Langley, Couch took a birthday drive down to the local senior center, where his friends threw a party for him. After two cakes and a round of dancing, he drove home, where the phone was ringing with birthday wishes.
The state's decision to give his father a driver's test took a lot of pressure off his 64-year-old son, Bill Couch, of Clinton. The son said he sometimes follows his father in his car to make sure his dad is driving safely.
Alden Couch's new license that he received in the mail a little more than a week ago expires in 2012.
