W 112014 TOMMIE BURROUGH 02
Tommie Burrough, 102, spends some time with family and friends during Eagle Health & Rehabilitation's Thanksgiving family night.
At 102 years old, Tommie Burroughs has better vision than a good number of people in their 30s and 40s. He is able to read the Statesboro Herald every day without the help of eyeglasses. It’s part of his daily routine, in which he wakes up at 7 a.m., sits on the porch for a few hours and reads.
