90 years

We celebrated my uncle's 90th birthday party yesterday in Durham. He looks much younger than 90 and still works at his car shop as a master mechanic. I was surprised he was 90. He looks and acts about the same as he did when I was growing up. It was an inspiration to hear all the stories friends and family told about him. He was in the army during world war II. He and other church members fought for fair, safe access to childcare facilities in Durham. He is what I call an everyday hero. I had no idea all he had done. He has had a productive 90 years. As healthy and active as he is, I suspect we will be celebrating his 100th birthday in 10 years.
