Dawes Eddy—God Bless his Soul—is now the oldest (i.e. most senior) United States Citizen to stand atop of Mount Everest (29,035-feet), as of May 20th {4:00 to 4:30 AM}.
Read it in the words of Expedition Leader, Eric Simonson: http://www.mountainguides.com/everest-south09.shtml

Seventeen-year-old Johnny Collinson from Snowbird, Utah became the youngest American to summit Everest, and Dawes Eddy, 66, of Spokane, Washington became the oldest American to bag the peak. Collinson reached the top with Damien Benegas on May 19th, and Eddy peaked the next day with IMG.
The two are pictured together above.
