On October 7, local veteran James South will be turning 100-years-old.
For his birthday, South is only looking for one thing.
Brookdale Senior Living in Watauga posted on Facebook that for his 100th birthday, South is looking to receive 100 birthday cards.
The post reads:
South’s son Jim says he has a three-day celebration planned for his dad's big birthday, which includes playing golf, eating chicken fried steak and catfish at his favorite restaurants, and spending time with his family. Jim said, “My dad taught me that a hug is better then a handshake. And that money wasn't the goal in life -- it was happiness."
