Preserving Family Traditions at 86 Years Old

Family traditions are things that connect the past to the present and no one knows this better then 86 years old Giorgos Hatziparaskos. George is one of the last bakers in Greece making phyllo pastry by hand.

The following video shares both the beauty and the art of this hand made pastry. With the process taking up to four hours coupled the physical energy it takes to complete it, George shows his determination to enshrine the tradition so that it's not lost.

As George shared of creating this pastry, "it's what keeps me alive". And George's commitment and passion to his art is what makes George worthy of being recognized as a Retirement Rebel.
