LOS ANGELES -- Arthur Winston, a transit employee who received a citation from President Clinton for his decades of service, died in his sleep less than a month after retiring on his 100th birthday, his family said yesterday. Mr. Winston had been admitted to a hospital for exhaustion and dehydration but returned to his home April 6. He died Thursday evening.
For decades, he reported to work at the crack of dawn to supervise workers who cleaned and refueled the region's bus fleet.
He missed just one day of work in more than 70 years at the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, and that was to attend his wife's funeral in 1988. In 1996, he received an ''Employee of the Century" citation from Clinton.

Huh?

The least MTA could do is rename the facility after him, maybe rename an L.A. street after him too.
Don't I know you? You work in my office, right?
Not to me. I can hardly wait, got too many hobbies/interests to kick the bucket quickly.
