Claire Bauman is finally hanging up her stop sign after nearly six decades on the job.<\/p>\n
The 94-year-old crossing guard got the celebrity treatment when she arrived at Horace Mann Elementary School in Cherry Hill in a limousine.<\/p>\n
Family, friends, alumni and current students gathered to celebrate her lengthy career and send her off on a happy retirement.<\/p>\n
Snow, sleet and rain have been no match for Bauman since her first day – November 29, 1965.<\/p>\n
However, she wasn’t always confident she could do the job.<\/p>\n
“I said I’ll give you a week, and here I am 57 years later,” she joked.<\/p>\n
Nearly 60 years have passed, and in that time she’s seen three generations of kids cross her path.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Claire Bauman is finally hanging up her stop sign after nearly six decades on the job.","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":29475,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"featured_img_display":"Yes","footnotes":""},"categories":[3096],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-30168","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-good-news"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-25 14:46:53","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"react_link":"https:\/\/country929.com\/blogs\/good-news\/2022\/06\/crossing-guard-finally-retires-after-57-years\/","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30168","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=30168"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30168\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30169,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30168\/revisions\/30169"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29475"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30168"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=30168"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=30168"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
