Older workers possess priceless experience

I agree with Kay Sigmon’s letter, "Hard work, experience are worth a degree" (March 9).
The baby boomers are worth a whole lot more than they are given credit for. Their experience and knowledge are worth more than any of us will ever know. You can’t put a price on experience and knowledge.

Our society needs to understand that those older than 50 contain the survival of our future. We learn from those most experienced. Experience and knowledge are to be passed on from one generation to the next.

The only way to preserve our future generations is to respect and honor our elders. Honorary degrees are in order. We must not forget where we came from and who helped us get there.
