Okay, so I don't know for sure if he really is the last milkman in this country, but I'm pretty sure that milkmen are an endangered species. I mean, when was the last time you heard about someone delivering milk to your doorstep (other than Amazon, that is)?
After dedicating 70 years of prompt, friendly, reliable service, 80 year-old Clyde Priest has reluctantly retired from his duty as milkman in Hannibal, MO. He began delivering milk at the age of 10, helping his father, and by July 20, the day he retired, he had outlived and out-serviced eight of the dairies that used to provide his products.
If it weren't for an emergency appendectomy in June, Priest probably would have kept on delivering, since he says he "loved every minute of it."
His customers trusted him so much that he would put their dairy purchases directly into in their refrigerators when they weren't home.
We need more people like Clyde Priest in this country.
