No more coffee nor tea from this retiree, now that he’s 83! Ron Akana has finally hung up his United Airlines uniform for good. The Honolulu Star-Advertiser in his native state of Hawaii claims he holds the world record for long service as a flight attendant. 

Ron first got his United job in 1949 after he saw a newspaper want ad for an airline flight steward. He said he applied without knowing what that title meant back then. However, his excellent record over more than six decades proves he found out quickly, and proved to be one of the best ever in the air.

The casinos in Las Vegas and Atlantic City are doing business with a King Midas touch by offering gold along with cash from their ATM machines. 

The machines in the Golden Nugget casinos offer buyers a 300-item variety of gold bars and coins at their Gold To Go ATMs. The valuable metal objects are priced by the ounce or gram, with electronic tags adjusted every minute to coincide with fluctuating market values.

The machines have been very busy, apparently attracting customers who want to gamble on the ever-changing world gold market, along with trying their luck at the casino slots and table games. For more information, go to goldtogomachines.com
