The AP writes: “An 80-year-old milkman who delivered to five generations of Hannibal [Missouri] residents has reluctantly retired after 70 years of friendly, prompt service… He said he never had to lay off an employee, although some months he didn’t make a dime. ‘But we never did without a meal, in the 56 years [he and his wife] have been married,’ he said.”

Too bad that kind of loyalty, dedication, and customer service isn’t more celebrated.
