A Very Long Time - 40 Years and then 33 years

I was researching something else because someone had asked a question about change.

Hillsborough: County schools' attorney to resign

"Few, 71, plans to step down next week as Hillsborough school attorney after nearly 40 years. He plans to work part time for a while as he ends a tenure as one of the longest-serving school attorneys in Florida.

At Tuesday's board meeting, superintendent Earl Lennard will recommend Tom Gonzalez replace Few as school attorney at Few's request. Gonzalez has handled the district's labor issues since 1975."

Interesting that the reins held by one for 40 years were turned over to one who has had their hand on the reins for (at the time) 29 years.

Maybe this longevity provides concrete stability to a system.
