Austin American-Statesman

Good afternoon. It’s Friday, May 11. I'm Kyle Sauerhoefer and here's your local news from the Austin American-Statesman. Richard Overton, America’s oldest living World War II veteran, turned 112 today. Austin is celebrating his birthday with a community party at his East Austin home, on the street that now bears his name — Richard Overton Avenue. The birthday bash, hosted by Austin hip-hop duo Riders Against the Storm and featuring music by DJ Kay Cali, is from 4 to 7 p.m.
