SAMANTHA APPLETON / AURORA FOR TIME
Tommy Chisholm
Halifax, Nova Scotia
Age 102
"Chizzy" remembers oil lamps and an outhouse at his folks' first Halifax home, and how those newfangled cars would frighten the horses. His job on the waterfront kept him on his feet most of the day. His favorite exercise: trout fishing. A pipe and cigar smoker for 60 years and still an ale drinker, he cooks and cleans for himself: "I always say I'm a freak of nature."
