Orville Rogers, a 100-year-old world champion runner and the father of Tyler pediatrician Dr. Rick Rogers, is featured on the cover of the latest edition of Money magazine. There are two covers, one features Rogers and the other features a 100-year-old woman who teaches yoga. 

In Rogers’ cover portrait, he is wearing more than a dozen of his USA Track and Field medals.

In the article, Rogers, who recently spoke at the Texas Rose Festival Men’s Luncheon alongside Dr. Kenneth Cooper, talks about his motivation for running, what he credits his long life to and — because its Money magazine — how he set himself up for a solid retirement. 

The Dallas resident trained bomber pilots in World War II, flew the B-36 on secret missions during the Korean conflict and ferried airplanes to remote Baptist missions around the world, according to his website. 

He also worked for 31 years as a pilot for Braniff Airways. He didn’t start running until he was 51 and ran his first marathon at 57, according to his website. At 90, he broke two world records at his first national meet and today holds 15 world records and continues to compete, the website reads. He has a book titled “The Running Man: Flying High for the Glory of God.”
