In my time working at the Athens YMCA, I learned about and met Fred and Wila Birchmore, two of the most inspiring lives to come out of Athens in my opinion. Fred lived from 1911 to 2012 with a spirit of kindness, adventure, achievement and service to his community that I can only hope to model my life after. After Fred rode his bicycle around the world, he and Wila got married and bicycled through South America for their honeymoon! I've never recommended an obituary, but his reads like a great adventure story that will make you want to pick up and go write your own!
