Richard Swanson is like any other hard-working American. He gets up each day, drives to work, puts in an eight- or nine-hour day, goes home and does the same thing all over again the next day. His routine is pretty unremarkable.
But what makes him remarkable is that this month, he’ll celebrate a landmark anniversary – 49 years at the same place of employment, rising from an accounting clerk in 1962 to division controller in 1996.
