Suffield’s Newest Centenarian

By |

Suffield Senior Center was host to a very special celebration on Wednesday, September 10, as Eugene Christian – known affectionately as “Gene” to his many friends – turned 100 years of age while surrounded by friends and family. Decked out in a birthday sash proclaiming him “Birthday King” and a crown that suited him almost too well, Gene beamed as center members lined up to wish him happy birthday. Photo submitted by the author Gene with his great granddaughter Francesca dancing at the event to Polish polka music. Gene’s roots in Suffield run deep. Born in 1925 in the upstairs of a house his parents rented on South Street, he later co-owned Christian Farms with his brothers.

A junior at Suffield High School, with a strong program there, she has an even stronger demand on her time and energy outside of school. Every afternoon she leaves SHS and goes to a local dance studio, where she trains until 10:00 or even later.
