Description: 

Green Thumb, Inc., the country's oldest and largest provider of mature-worker training and employment, today launched its third-annual national Prime Time Awards search for the oldest worker in the United States. The inaugural Prime Time Awards recipient is 104-year-old Milton Ward Garland of Waynesboro, Pennsylvania. A refrigeration pioneer and engineer who holds 41 U.S. patents, Mr. Garland still goes everyday to his office at the Frick Company, the same firm to which he has reported for work since 1920.

To be recognized as America's Oldest Worker, an individual must work at least 20 hours per week in paid employment, and must be willing to attend Prime Time activities during the first week in October 2000, in Washington, DC.
