She's been driving for 20+ years and has been driving the same neighborhoods for something like 14 years. She's seen generations of kids from the same families come and go. Then on Friday July 14th I'll be retiring after 50 years and 5 months as an aircraft mechanic. For the past year or so I've only been working 3 days a week but …
