MONTREAT, NC. (WVLT) -- The 'pastor to presidents', the Reverend Billy Graham, celebrated his ninety-first birthday Saturday.

He visited with family at his home in Montreat, just outside Asheville.

He's not given interviews, but his evangelistic association issued a news release quoting him as saying that "his heart is filled with gratitude to the Lord for all that He has done for him, and for all the prayers from so many people over the years."

The Reverend Graham has Parkinson's Disease, his hearing and vision have weakened, and he's suffered several falls recently.

But his group says he has a strong heart and a clear mind.
