Heartwarming

Did anyone read in the news this heartwarming story of the 89 year old gentleman who put an ad in his local paper for work?

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/joe-bart...tarts-new-job/

LONDON -- An 89-year-old army veteran who made national headlines in Britain with a newspaper ad seeking work has started his new job.

The Cantina Kitchen & Bar in the seaside town of Paignton in southwestern England announced on its Facebook page that Joe Bartley was starting work Sunday.

“He’s a really super guy and it seems like he’s going to fit right into our lovely bunch of staff,” the restaurant wrote on Facebook. “He is coming along for his first shift this Sunday. He’ll also be sharing our family (sic) christmas day with us.”

Yes, I saw this on the news on telly Ruthio, and they interviewed the old chap.

Good for him, hope he enjoys having a job again and feeling useful.
