Roy Braswell of Powder Springs Just celebrated his 104th birthday. He was born on March 20th, 1909. Mr. Roy, (that's what everyone calls him), was still driving a car when he was 100 years old. He's been a Braves and Falcons fan for many years. He still has all his mental facilities, although his hearing is going. If you're willing to sit and listen for a while you'll hear some fascinating stories from a good man that's led a long life. When asked how he has lived so long he'll tell you,"No drinking, no smoking and no cussing." Now a days people want to eat healthy and exercise to live longer. Mr. Roy eats eggs for breakfast, and eats whatever he wants. So I don't put a lot of stock into what all the experts say. Are any of them 104? Mr. Roy's a gentle man with a strong faith in Christ. He believes in loving everyone and treating people right. He doesn't judge a man by his skin color, but by his actions. I'm lucky to have him as a father In-Law. We just had his birthday party at Piccadilly's and had about 50 people attend.
I'll keep you posted and take another picture on his 105th birthday.
