What has been the happiest moment of your life so far?
When I got these glasses. Ever since I've been growing up I've had eye problems and so I was finally able to find a doctor that was able to give me glasses for looking down the road.
What has been the saddest moment of your life so far?
I guess after my mamma died. Your parents are not only your parents but can also be your friends too. So when she died I felt like I lost both of 'em.
What's your biggest struggle right now?
Well I don't have any struggles right now cause I'm retired. I mean you could always have more money. I'm living pretty much comfortably so that's about it for that.
How long have you been retired?
I retired in '99. So 16 this year.
What's your favorite place in Chapel Hill?
Well I don't know. I can't say that I have a favorite place because as far as I know all of them are pretty good.
