Can a 94-year-old relive his childhood and sled down hills with his grandchildren? Well, Claude Bratcher, a WWII veteran, did just that. Apparently he got tired of just watching his grandchildren sled down hills of snow. After about an hour, he proclaimed that he wanted to sled too.
He didn’t just want to do a simple form of sledding. He wanted to sled behind the 4-wheeler! This means that he would go much faster. His grandson-in-law, Anthony Smith, who was driving the 4-wheeler, stated to the news that they were careful not to go too fast. The family dog even got in on the action and followed Claude as he flew down the white powdered hills of snow.
Claude can still relive his youth because he is a very active individual. He lives on a farm and makes sure to at least do one chore or something active on the farm each day. Recently, his wife of 50 years passed away, but despite her death, he has maintained a positive attitude and an active lifestyle.
The eventful sledding that day made Claude feel youthful and was as much action as he’s lived in a long time. He had a smile plastered on his face and his family could tell he was happy and having a good time.
