Meet Pepper Wilson. I was putting gas in my car when I saw her stroll by on Higgins Street. It took effort to get her attention and when I did she told me I must have caught her daydreaming followed with laughter. Pepper was more than excited about my project. She immediately started to tell me about a fashion show she's going to be in for Betty's Divine. I asked her how old she was and she told me 85. Shocked, I asked her how she manages to look so good. "I don't know what I do'" she said. "I'm just lucky." Pepper moved here 21 years ago from New Jersey. She became a widow at 49 and retired shortly after. That's when she decided to move here. "Once I became independent I told myself it's time to do what I want. So I moved out here and do whatever I want to do."
