Have you got a job for Don?
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.
Ideally, he would love to be employed as a groundskeeper, gardener, or on some kind of lawn mowing contract.
