Centenarian Johnson credits good behavior for long life
Robert Johnson, 100, recalls never visiting a doctor since 1948 and quips he sees better without glasses. He attributes longevity to good behavior and God, noting past beer and whiskey but never a full drink, quitting smoking at 60 and chewing at 80. Born in a Mississippi River village, he labors as a farmer and more, sharing his 60th wedding anniversary with his 7000th birthday celebration.
