Vita Needle Co in THE TORONTO STAR

Sep 23, 2015

NEEDHAM, MASS.—When a special order comes in that calls for a steady hand and a sure eye, the work at Vita Needle often goes to a machine operator called Bill Ferson.

For the past 25 years, at Vita’s factory in suburban Boston, Ferson has been taking very small, hollow stainless steel tubes, thinner than a piece of spaghetti, and shaping one end to make high quality needles and probes.

Ferson is 94.

“I only planned to work for a few months, but I’ve been here ever since,” he says.
