Virginia Beach resident Myron Curtis has led a diverse life - as a U.S. Navy Chief Petty Officer and WWII vet, a public school teacher, and a nationally-renowned architectural woodturner.
Now he can add another title to that list: Centenarian.
On Saturday, friends and fans of Curtis turned up at his eclectic Sandbridge home to help him celebrate turning 100-years-old.
