Ted Foster, head of maintenance at 100 River Street, shovels the building’s 144 foot pedestrian bridge over the Black River in Springfield, Vt., on Friday, Jan. 6, 2022. He said that when he turned 70 the building’s owner told him he didn’t have to shovel snow or mow the grass any more, but he continues to clear the bridge while letting younger workers handle other areas. “I’m 76 and I’m still doing it,” he said. “It’s something to do - keeps you going.” (Valley News - James M.
