First I was tipped off by his granddaughter on her Facebook page, then I saw it on Channel 7 last night, and this morning it was reported in the Xenia Gazette: Hargis Hicks of Xenia turned 100 yesterday and celebrated in his favorite restaurant where they threw a party for him. Hicks is the grandfather of Mindy Carpenter, one time YS resident and former director of the Antioch Writers' Workshop.
"Grandpa made the newspaper!" Carpenter wrote. "He has eaten lunch at this restaurant nearly everyday for over ten years, so they threw him a 100th birthday party yesterday."
