| Doc earns a vacation... |
| 2002-09-06 |
| MIAMI — Israel Haimowitz made a deal with his doctor 15 years ago — get me to 100 and I'll buy you a European vacation. On Thursday, Haimowitz is celebrating his 100th birthday. And Dr. Robert Drimmer and his wife are looking forward to a trip to London next summer. "I hate to take his money,'' Drimmer said, but Haimowitz ''would be mad if I didn't go." Haimowitz, a retired furniture salesman, said it's the least he can do. He credits his longevity and health to drinking two ounces of cognac daily, along with eating five Danish butter cookies. Way to go, Izzy! I hope he does better than Uncle Bob did, and has as much fun as Cecil. (I attribute my own longevity to waking up every morning. It's worked so far, except for a few days when I've felt dead...) |
