Ned Brown, 61岁, 纪念他在澳大利亚贝加的斯塔福德硬件公司工作45周年,
Ned Brown, 61, marked his 45th anniversary working at Stafford’s Hardware in Bega, Australia, a family business where he’s spent his entire career.
内德出生在一个与公司有着深厚联系的家庭——他的母亲是斯塔福德人,父亲在窑炉里工作了近 30 年——内德在 1970 年代的学校假期开始帮忙,用火鸡羽毛清洁积木,并赚取了他的第一笔 100 美元薪水。
Born into a family with deep ties to the company—his mother was a Stafford and his father worked the kilns for nearly 30 years—Ned began helping during school holidays in the 1970s, cleaning blocks with a turkey feather and earning his first $100 paycheck.
他于1980年全时加入,在1992年关闭最初的1939年焚化窑之前,一直从事夜间工作,点燃粘土砖。
He joined full time in 1980, working night shifts firing clay bricks until the original 1939 kiln closed in 1992.
