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.
