...and he has worked at least part time (to help his family,not for "fun" money) since was 10. He is now 75. He is glad to reach this milestone and is very curious to know what it's like to have no job.

Please pray for him and for my mom as they make this important transition; I know my mom has waited a long time for this day to arrive!

Thanks so much!
