Meet Richard Hendrickson, the 101-year-old weatherman who has been recording the weather for 84 years.
Hendrickson started his volunteer work on July 1, 1930, at age 18. He now holds the longest continuous weather recording in the history of the National Weather Service, with more than 150,000 individual readings.
The former farmer monitors the weather from the thermometer shelter in his backyard in Bridgehampton, New York, and calls the National Weather Service, using his rotary phone.
The Weather Service honored him in July 2014, an award named after him – the Richard G. Hendrickson Award.
Incredibly inspiring!
