today i rise to recognize stacey eggers jr. of boone, north carolina. on march 20, stationy will be 91 years old but he -- stacey will be the 1 years old but he hasn't let age slow him down one bit. he still goes daily to his office on west king street where he has been continually practicing law since 1950. back then he was one of only four attorneys in the county. stacey is one of the last attorneys in the state of north carolina who did not attend law school. he was admitted by the north carolina state bar to practice law on april 19, 1950, and eventually his law practice became a family affair. he formed the law firm eggers and eggers with his son stacey eggers iii in 1974, and later formed eggers eggers, and eggers when his daughter rebecca joined the practice. his grand son stacey eggers iv, who is known as four, joined the firm in 2001. his granddaughter in-law, kimberly eggers, joined the firm in 2010. and another grandson, austin eggers, joined the firm in 2011. i think it bears repeating that stacey still goes to work every day at the age of 90
