Retiree works toll collection on San Luis Pass Bridge
Gene Barnett, 62, tolls at the San Luis Pass Toll Bridge near Brazoria County, a part time retirement job he enjoys for social contact and varied experiences. He works two to three days weekly, often 2:30 to 9:30 pm, and plans more travel after summer. He recalls encounters from a cross country cyclist to a cake returning incident and notes most visitors are friendly while occasional back talk occurs.
