A local Dauphin man will be retiring at the end of this month as the longest-serving public employee in Manitoba's history.
Steven Rosnowsky has been working for Manitoba Liquor and Lotteries for 53 years, most recently at the Dauphin Liquor Mart.
Rosnowsky says he only recently made the decision to move on. Rosnowsky joined the old Liquor Control Board at the age of 18, right after the age of majority was reduced from 21.
He says even though he's retiring, he has plans to remain an active member of the community, and will miss everyone of his former co-workers.
