Labor statistics show that the average person will hold 12-15 different jobs during their life, but V.G. Garner defies the statistics as he starts his 65th year at Wylie Propane.

Garner was treated last Thursday, June 30, with a 90th birthday reception during which his customers of decades came by to visit. His 64th workdate anniversary fell on March 15.
