At 90, Macy's saleswoman shows no signs of slowing down
For one 90-year-old woman, the secret to keeping young is in her work. Adele McFarland is a saleswoman at the Macy's menswear department in Charleston, W. Va., where she's been working for more than 20 years. Her manager says she's "as aggressive a salesperson as you'll ever see," and McFarland considers herself an expert in pairing shirts and ties with suits. "You'd think I was a man, I'm so fascinated with ties," she said.
