Sent him cigars via USPS Priority Mail with signature confirmation. Got the confirmation card today, signed by Mr. Overton himself

I am so honored. I plan to frame this with a photo of this hero!

Mr Overton turned 109 this year. I hope he makes it to 110 next May (on 5/11/2016). We should send him a special gift.

Here's an article about his 109th birthday with an interview. http://abcnews.go.com/US/oldest-livi...ry?id=30843011
