Centenarian Pugh to discuss autobiography What’s Next at Asheboro library

John Q. Pugh 
ASHEBORO – Centenarian John Q. Pugh will share stories from his autobiography, What’s Next, at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, March 5, at the Asheboro Public Library.
                
Pugh’s talk, which includes a book signing, is free and the public is invited. It’s Sponsored by the Friends of the Library.

What’s Next tracks Pugh’s determination to live his dreams, even at age 101. He says the key is to view life as a learning process, and “get inspired, get motivated and most importantly, participate.”

Pugh overcame a hearing disability and established the hugely successful business Pugh Lubricants. He has traveled the world (including a trip to Antarctica at age 96 in which he took the “polar plunge”), and he won three gold medals in the National Senior Olympics at age 100.

The library is located at 201 Worth Street.
