It’s hard to believe that what started in October 1976 will be coming to an end at the end of this month. Very mixed emotions right now but it’s time top pass it on to the next generation. 13 more 10 hour days is all that are left.
Brother, I hope your retirement goes as well as mine has. It is a tough day walking away for the last time, but it is always a load of fun going back for a visit or someone else's retirement party. You deserve the very best and I am hopeful the citizens in your community recognize your selfless service over a long and distinguished career. It is people like you that are held out as role models and consequently, our world is a better place. I only wish I could attend the retirement party and thank you in person. Stay safe and enjoy a long life of happiness and peace.
From my experience, retirement was not so much of a singular event as an extended process. It can be stressful for some, some feel a bit lost for a while while they find the new "me", and some seek other employment to fill their day. I'm a recent (6 months) retiree. I found that putting structure into the day (i.e. gym, hobbies, volunteering etc.) helps with the transition. Once there... it's great! Congratulations.
Gary: I wish you the absolute best for your retirement. I am CERTAIN that is has well earned. I hope that you are able to enjoy yourself and continue to dive, except for fun! I am worried as you have always been the bonding factor to this forum and I hope that we can keep this going. You will be missed! Enjoy the next chapter of your life.
