 Yes I did, I’m official retired. Started in medical sales in 1981. My last 36 years has been with the same company. I’ll miss what I’ve been doing for over half of my life but I’ll find plenty to do

It's a wonderful feeling of freedom. I am 5 years retired after 45yrs at the same company. Don't miss the job at all. I do miss some of the fellow workers. Best wishes for a fulfilling retirement. It will be what you make of it.

Congratulations.  I missed some good friends (at work) too, but never stepped foot in DC again. Staying busy and useful and healthy is a good plan. |

Congratulations, Keith!! Hope you enjoy retirement as much as I do. Retired from OTR trucking in November 2014. Went back to work driving Intrastate part time in July 2015, then Full time in December 2015. Retired for good, October 2018, less then 2 months before my 70th birthday. Now I ride one or the other of my Bikes pretty much once a week, year 'round. Life is good. See you at Inzane in June.

 Great to hear from you guys, Thank you! Yes, I’m looking forward to hanging up my work scrubs. I’ve been blessed to have fun while I work for a living.  The people I met along the way were good folks. Lots to look forward to and I know I’ll be keeping busy making more rides too!

Well congrats, you'll enjoy your time even more now and you will find you're busy most of the time. The difference is...you can usually schedule your time easier. That means you can work the TO-DO list in easier between Valkyrie events. I worked past 65 and have been retired 22 years next month. If my wife had been in good health I would have worked at least another couple years...but was not to be. I retired in 2004, that gave us about another four years before she got to the point where she needed fulltime attention. Hope to see you at IZ in June. |
