How to Live a Long Life

Keep Arthur away

I was born in Belhaven in March of 1925. At age 15, I went to New York. I wanted to get married at 17, but I couldn’t in New York. So we waited until we were 21 and got married. We went back to Belhaven and bought a farm and built a house on it. We had two kids, Shanon and Greg.

Every day I get up and go to work. Every night, I come home. I have one glass of wine, eight ounces. Blood pressure: 130 over 75. When I go to bed, I stretch my legs out as hard as I can to keep “Arthur” away. And I smile all the time.
