By Breaking Belize News Staff (HP): Zacarias Copo Sr. of Orange Walk celebrates his 102nd birthday today.
Reaching that age is rare anywhere in the world, and in Belize it puts him among a very small group.
Mr. Copo has lived through the whole of modern Belizean history. He was born when this was still British Honduras, decades before self government, before Independence in 1981, before the country had the roads, schools and towns we know today.
He has seen hurricanes come through, watched Orange Walk grow, and outlasted a great many people who thought they knew what the future held.
Breaking Belize News extends congratulations to Mr. Copo and to his family on this milestone.
Happy 102nd birthday, sir.
