This is Daniel, he is 102 yrs and 9 months old. He is one of the most amazing 
persons I have ever had the privilege of meeting. Every day at about 
2 pm he visit the family owned business, he reads the newspaper(new York times) 
and has a cup of tea no milk no sugar. He lives alone and is fully capable of 
taking care of himself
He is as sharp as a whip and has the most amazing memory.. I love to listen to 
his stories be it about the war, or just family history.. He remembers the day 
he joined the army and the minute to minute detail of that day like it was 
yesterday, amazingly it was 68 yrs ago. He has lived through times when men 
would come around everynight to light the keroscene street lamp, or when 
firetucks were pulled by horses, through the great depression! He truly is a 
walking, talking history book..my favorite is when he tell me about his days as 
a young man, he was, and still is quite the charmer!!!! In this photo
(taken with my iPhone) he is teaching me how to fold a shirt Military 
style....everything he does he has a method and a step by step process..I truly 
enjoy my afternoons with Danny.
