Stone Harbor centenarian recalls the highlights of a rich life

STONE HARBOR – “Can you believe it?” asked a spry Dorothy Deegan, of Stone Harbor, on turning 100 years old June 6. “I can’t.”

“I don’t know what the secret is to living this long,” she said, chuckling, adding she’s not a drinker and only has a “glass of champagne with strawberries for special events, maybe once or twice a year.”
