Mr Dumas I never got that kind of a chance at Marta I started at Marta year of 2006 I thought that I was doing something right by me and a coworker were talking and the Mobility passenger s were complaining so she recommended who I needed to go see I did the General Superintendent found out by Angela Brown and she fired me she would never tell the truth to save her own job . But Congrats on many years 🎉❤

[@bodazephyr6629]

A great role model, showing hard work and diligence. To think that when he started, the Vietnam war was still happening, that's a long time ago!
