San Francisco Earthquake Survivor, still at work.
The 101st anniversary of the Great San Francisco Earthqake was last Wednesday. There was a ceremony to mark the occasion, but only one earthqake survivor was healthy enough to attend: 104-year-old Herbert Hamrol. Hamrol said work is one of the secrets to his long life.
He still holds down a job rearranging the merchandise at Andronico’s supermarket in the Sunset District two days a week.
“I like what I do and they like me,” he said. He said he’d worked for Andronico’s for 50 years, more or less, and he plans to be back on the job today as usual. “The retirement benefits are good there,” he said.
