When asked for his advice to other businesses on making it so long, Mr. Habeski was quick to note, "You need to enjoy what you're doing. That's part of life, you need to enjoy coming in, doing your work - I don't know what to do with myself after two or three days at home!"
Here's to 56 years of you, Dave!
