Dancing Veteran

It seemed like a long way since 1994 when Houston Pritchett was in the Philippines, during World War II. When he was about 80 years old, he attended a senior gathering, and there was plenty of dancing. Right then and there, Houston fell in love.

Even after hitting the century mark, this 102-year-old veteranโ€™s love for dancing never left! In fact, he only stopped when he recently had a heart attack. Houston underwent major heart surgery, and with the help of cardiac rehab, he hopes one day that he could hit the dance floor again.

โ€œYeah, I was real worried about it. Iโ€™m still worried about it. And Iโ€™m waiting, I think itโ€™s the 29th Iโ€™ll see this doctor again, and Iโ€™m going to remember to ask him when I get back to dancing,โ€ Houston said.

We hope to see you on the dance floor soon, sir!
