Have you got a job for Don?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

For most people in their early 80s, having to find work in order to make ends meet is something they will have happily put behind them in order to enjoy the fruits of retirement.

For Don McGovern, it’s an ongoing necessity - but also a challenge he is relishing.
