At 99, a St. Petersburg man finds meaning in the working life | Tampa Bay Times

At 99, a St. Petersburg man finds meaning in the working life | Tampa Bay Times: Newton Murray — everyone calls him Mr. Newton — is 99 years old, making him the oldest employee of Bama seafood and probably among the oldest anywhere. But he has no thoughts of retirement. After he puts away his cooler, he will set to work tidying up Bama's vast parking lots.

If you saw him there, you might think he was just holding up a broom. But it's really the other way around.
