What a Champion!

PENSACOLA, Fla. -- We caught up with Joe Brown of Pensacola, Fla., as he was about to go into a barber shop. Imagine being 98 and still having the energy -- and the hair -- to visit a barber. But what's even more impressive about Joe is that he is the barber.

In a minute, I will ask why anyone would go to a 98-year-old barber, but first: why this 98-year-old barber still goes to work. "I've seen so many of my customers retire and in four of five years, they're gone," Joe says. "They're not here anymore. I said, 'I'm not going that route. I'm going to keep working.'"

Joe started cutting hair during the Great Depression, and he's been doing it pretty much every week since. His last vacation was last century. The guy truly loves his job..
