Last weekend I turned 66, and today was my last day at work – I RETIRED!
I had worked 49 years, for 12 Companies at 16 locations, nine cities in five states. I also had work assignments in Canada, Mexico, Germany, England, Ireland and New Zealand. I worked for a top Fortune 500 Company for 14 years, for the last one for 8 years, and the rest ranged from five to two years.
During this period, I had 27 managers or supervisors and 30 different position titles, from janitor through vice-president and president. About 50% of my work was engineering related, and the other 50% in computers, Quality, and production.
In our 46+ years of marriage, my wife Judy and I moved 13 times and have owned 9 homes. We have two sons in their mid forties, and five grandchildren ranging in ages from 21 through 1.
I plan to work on my train layout, get back to shooting at least once a week, do contract engineering work, and perhaps build a handful of products for sale.
We’ll travel a couple of times a year to places we always wanted to go but did not have the time to do so.
Just wanted to share with you!

Alan – this was the great news I mentioned yesterday.
