Green Thumb program aids older workers in Maryland counties
Peggy Gochenour oversees a state program named Green Thumb operating in Washington and Frederick counties. The effort, dating to Johnson era anti poverty policies, helps about a dozen seniors secure part time jobs through the Letor Department. Participants earn minimum wage for up to 20 hours weekly, preparing them for private sector work while cost effectively turning taxpayers into workers. Gochenour, 56, Libertytown resident, pursued further education at Frederick Community College in 1992 to better assist clients seeking new jobs.
