Lambert

Connie Lambert keeps active, travels and defies her age of 76.

Connie Lambert never let her age or serious medical episodes slow her down.

Lambert said nurses backed away “like I was glowing or something.”

Lambert said she has trouble swallowing and has been sapped of energy.

Connie Lambert’s favorite job is watching her two great-granddaughters.

Lambert raised three sons and owned and managed a restaurant for 30 years.

For now Lambert worries about her two roommates who are caring for her.

Lambert estimates around 200,000 workers are needed in the next three months to pick strawberries and other seasonal crops.

Christine Lambert, head of France’s national union of farmers, said, “Due to the closure of the Schengen borders, but also to movement restrictions in Europe, the Poles and Romanians who used to come, won’t anymore. If our call is not heard, the production will remain in the fields and the entire fruit and vegetable sector will be damaged.”

Lambert maintained eye contact with Mary.
