I’m 61, and I figure I’ll work until I die, or get too sick to work. Started in the berry fields at 7.

Like an old plow horse I will probably die in the harness.

I’m 66 and will likely work another ten years. Self-employed, though, so don’t have to do 8 to 5 every day. People I know in my age group are mostly working part time.

Started in the berry fields at age 11.

I’ll bet that wasn’t a berry good job!

I started in the cotton fields myself but I didn’t cotton to it

(I just can’t stop myself)

**** “I’m 61, and I figure I’ll work until I die, or get too sick to work. Started in the berry fields at 7” ****

I got ya .... I started at 6 driving the ol Studebaker Hay Truck (standing on the seat, Granny Gear, just steering)

But I know what you are saying and we are the same age, at 8 my Dad had Walking Pneumonia? Anyway he was in the hospital for 3 days and I had to milk the cows... Mom said I did a really good job so... it was my job forever after... then Berries Beans, Cucumbers and Hay (BEST DAYS OF MY LIFE)

I too will have to work till I die... married a Young Woman, divorced now and “That” Contract will probably not end till the day I Die, hoping that it ends sooner would deprive my children of their Mother so ... I’m OK, I’ll work.
Got nothing else to do
