Arlington resident Cozette Washington turns 100 today (Wednesday) and hasn’t wasted a second. Washington was born in Bayonne, N.J. on Sept. 24, 1925. At the time, clothes were washed on scrub boards and the radio was new, her granddaughter, Kamilla Scott, told ARLnow. “Her century of life reflects resilience and history,” Scott said. Cozette Washington was married to Miles S. Washington Jr. for 67 years. He was one of the original Tuskegee Airmen and the two met during a wartime blackout, Scott said.
