Illiterate at 96, he publishes his first book at 98!

I was at my club yesterday pedaling away and happened to look up at one of the video screens to catch a rare story that caught my attention on HLNTV

Here was this 98 year old fisherman living in the Mystic/Stonington Connecticut area who had gone 96 years without being able to read or write.

Two years ago he became literate and has published a book of 29 chapters that details his life in detail including serving as  Captain of  three fishing boats.

Congrats to Jim Henry.

Here is the complete story: http://tinyurl.com/c6p2rtr
