Life keeps getting better for 100-year-old
From The Waynesboro Record Herald (Waynesboro, PA)
Sitting in the living room of his apartment at Somerford House, Clyde Huntsberry bubbles with enthusiasm and excitement.
"I'm really happy to be 100," he chuckles. "It's great, but I feel as though I'm only 60."
And he seems even younger.
Born April 8, 1905, in Boonsboro, Huntsberry has a firm handshake, a warm smile and the energy of someone half his age.
Huntsberry loves country music and entertains himself - and those around him - frequently as he strums on his steel guitar while listening to recordings of his favorite country musicians with the stereo cranked up loud.
"Music isn't any good if it isn't loud," he says.
Huntsberry looks the picture of health, but his eyesight has been slowly deteriorating due to macular degeneration. At 95, when he was no longer able to drive, Huntsberry decided to sell his home and move to an assisted living facility.
