Not quite amazing, but still...

Post by Sean Hayden » Mon May 02, 2022 12:35 pm

I'll start:
Walter Orthmann started working at a textile company in Brazil as a teenager. Now, after turning 100 this month, he has shattered the world record for the longest career at the same company.

For 84 years and nine days, as verified in January, Orthmann has been working at what is now known as ReneauxView, according to Guinness World Records. In those eight decades, he has collected pay in nine currencies.

The latest fad is a poverty social. Every woman must wear calico,
and every man his old clothes. In addition each is fined 25 cents if
he or she does not have a patch on his or her clothing. If these
parties become a regular thing, says an exchange, won't there be
a good chance for newspaper men to shine?

The Silver State. 1894.

Makes my 41 years at the one school look a bit minimal... ;)
