A grandfather-of-four who hid his illiteracy his entire life finally learned to read - at the ripe old age of 72.
Lonnie Breitung struggled to understand bills, asked friends to help him fill out forms and was unable to recite the alphabet.
He failed his driving test as a teen because he couldn’t read the theory questions, and only passed aged 62 after a policeman read the exam aloud. But he decided to learn how to read last November and has now finished his first ever novel, the 1932 children's classic 'Little House in the Big Woods' by Laura Ingalls Wilder.
