“The birthday is just another day,” Agnes Fenton whispered, pooh-poohing the milestone she reaches Saturday.
Fenton, who has a lovely face, will celebrate No. 110.
Just before her 105th birthday, Fenton was introduced to the nation. In an ABC World News report on the secrets to a long life, Fenton admitted that she had enjoyed beer and a whiskey every day for decades.
She told ABC that her only serious health problem was a long-ago benign tumor and that the doctor discharged her with one word of advice.
“He said, ‘Agnes, you must drink three Miller High Lifes a day.’ ”
“So Aggie’s enjoyed three beers and a shot of scotch every day for almost 70 years,” the ABC correspondent marveled.
Fenton prefers Johnnie Walker Blue Label, the top-shelf stuff.
