World War II, the Space Race, the presidencies of John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan, the Cold War, and the new millennium.
All of these are events that have happened in the past century, and local resident LaVon Holt, who turned 100 years old Friday, has borne witness to them all.
“It’s unbelievable, and I feel like it’s a miracle. I’ve been very, very blessed in my life, and I’ve had the Lord looking after me and helping me whenever I need it,” Holt said.
