Roger Hoffman, plant manager of Peerless Ohio Glove, went to work on June 11 just as he had for the past 15,000 days, or so.

That’s 41 years on the job in the same building with the same company.

Most viewers have switched jobs several times, but not Roger. Asked if he thinks of himself as the “ultimate Baby Boomer” because he works for the same company he started with in 1973, he answers: “No!”

“I actually have coffee every morning with guys I know were also at the same job close to, as long, or longer than me,” he says.

Go fish!

Over 220 Maple Crest residents, staff members, and their families turned out to fish at the Maple Crest pond on June 5. They also enjoyed a hot dog supper on the grill. 

Luther Shetler blasted the starting note for the derby on a shell horn and the first catch of the day was moments later by Richard Lasko. 

Others followed suit, with Mathias Klausing catching the longest fish of the day at 20 ½ inches, Elaina Helser catching the shortest fish at 2 ¾ inch, and Madie Treglia catching the most fish (eight).
