Default Long service & safety award

The company that I work for, hosted its annual safety awards banquet today. Amongst all the awardees, one particular guy stood out....he has been driving for us for the past 46 years, without a single incident !!!!

.....yet, he claims that he's only 45 years old !!!

As I sit looking all around,
Confusion and uncertainty is all I found.
The answers are there,
But I do not know where.
Optimistic and hopeful dreams,
Are all I have so it seems.
The future I do not know,
So all I can do is take it slow.
But I do know it will work out,
So I wait and watch without a doubt

I believe him and his mom were a team at the beginning. She trained him till he was able to go solo.

As with most drivers trying to get recognized with an award they over exaggerate a little bit. We had one guy at the last company I worked for who drove a daycab and never left the state of PA claimed he has driven over 4 million miles in less than 30 years of driving. I just had to laugh.
