In 2011,Hedda Bolgar Becker and Mazerin Vinget won the award for the best older workers in the U.S,which is no wonder considering that Hedda is 102, and Mazerin is 101 year old.

Mazerin was born on 20 September, in the 1910. in Lamar, South Carolina. In the sixth grade of primary school education he was interrupted in order to work on the farm. During the Great Depression (1929-1933.) he worked on the construction of the roads, and in contrast to his peers that left to retirement above 40 years ago, he started working at the post office in Lexington Park, in Maryland.
He still goes to work in his car, where he's cleaning four hours a day, six days a week, and he says that the secret to longevity in the way of life it that - he does not drink, he does not smoke, he eats a healthy food every week and go to church.
