    SNOW HILL, N.C. (WNCT) — On Saturday, the Snow Hill community celebrated a local man’s 100th birthday.

    Bob Aiken was born and raised in the town, and is a well-known photographer around Eastern North Carolina. He started doing photography in 1948 and took portraits of all types of people and did weddings as well. More than 400 of his friends and family gathered to celebrate not only him, but his legacy as well.

    Aiken gave this statement when asked what his best life advice was.

    “I’m amazed at my own self. I don’t know why I live so long, but I do think it has something to do with the low amount of alcohol and no smoking.”
