Jack A. Weil's roots run deep.
He was born in 1901, the year Orville and Wilbur Wright flew a glider at Kitty Hawk, N.C. It was the same year Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid robbed a train of $40,000 in Montana and construction began on the New York Stock Exchange.
Weil has seen a lot of history, and as he turned 105 on Tuesday, he's made a lot of history too.
The founder of Rockmount Ranch Wear is the oldest and longest-serving CEO in the country.
He celebrated his birthday by riding a horse-drawn surrey with three generations of Weils and Mayor John Hickenlooper, who presented Weil with a proclamation extolling his contributions and unveiled an honorary "Jack A. Weil Way" street sign.
