That's 101 and a half!

Posted by Fred Steiner on Thursday, April 2, 2015

About 125 people enjoyed an Easter dinner at ReStore on Tuesday evening, including Agnes Crates (left) and her friend Rachel Temple.

Now, if you ask Agnes her age, she quickly and proudly responds: "one hundred and one AND A HALF."

Yup, she up and about and happy with life, physically able and sharp as a tack.
