My Retirement
First, thank you to those who have sent cards and wished me well in retirement.

 

For those who have asked about a retirement “event”, as many know, I, while appreciative of the thought, do not like to be honored.

 

No major accomplishments are achieved by one person. They are achieved by everyone working together.

 

Thank you for all that you have accomplished and for your understanding of my wishes.
