As 2014 draws to a close, we bring you a man who's seen his share of New Year Eve's celebrations: 90-year-old Ernie Kinney. He is the oldest active square dance caller in the world, according to the International Association of Square Dance Callers. This former Marine and school teacher has called out the dance steps in all 50 states and all over the world. And, he's still in demand, though just sticking a little closer to his longtime home in Fresno where he calls every week for the Travelin' Pioneers square dance club.
