Vancouver Island man aborn Feb. 29, 1964
The Chemainus resident was born during a leap year in 1964 on Feb. 29 so he’s technically only had 15 actual birthdays, but is going on 60. This year being another leap year, it gives Noseworthy the rare chance to mark the occasion on his actual birthday Thursday.
“I’m going to be turning 15 and the most experienced 15-year-old you’ve ever seen,” he chuckled. “Now that I’m 15 I think I should start to mature a little.”“All my life people said, ‘do you celebrate it on the 28th or March 1st?’” he acknowledged. The answer is either one and “sometimes nothing,” Noseworthy added. “Whenever it did land on a leap year, I’d make up for it.”Born in Montreal, Noseworthy has lived in a variety of places before coming to Chemainus 12 years ago.
Being at hugely different points of the age spectrum, he doesn’t have any big plans for this year’s birthday.Not many 15-year-olds can ever say that.READ ALSO: Celebrating your 1st anniversary 4 years later: Leap Day couples share
