First Plane Ride Brings Spry 96-Year-Old To Aiken
Clifford L. Mitchell, nearly 97 in June, made his first plane trip to visit daughters in Aiken after a long life that included farming in Ohio, politics, and raising sheep. He recalls voting for 19 presidents since 1900 and credits longevity to staying active, avoiding smoking and heavy drinking, and refusing to sit in a rocking chair.
