This Saturday, May 30th at 1:30p, we are hosting at the café a 100th birthday party for Bertram (Bert) Feltinton, a local World War II veteran who attained the rank of captain in the U.S. Army and who is also one of the oldest licensed drivers in Texas. Bert's TDL expires tomorrow, his 100th birthday!
Bert enlisted in the US Army in August of 1943 and at the tender age of 17, served as a tank commander under Gen. George S. Patton and was discharged in May of 1946!
After the war, Bert worked as an NYPD patrolman and was then a successful businessman in the NYC area. Marrying his wife Carleen in Travis County in 1977, they moved from NY back to Cedar Park 30 years ago, once they retired. Bert is a very regular customer of 1431 Café and we always look forward to his visits.
He is extremely sharp and spry for a 100 year-old man and he loves to talk to people. He has many great stories about the war and his time in the military. He is a real character, as well as a walking, talking piece of U.S. military history!
