"I was President of a company. 7 years ago I quit. I never looked for another job. I felt that being a white male meant that I was not wanted on boards especially since I am a conservative. I just hung up everything and retired at 53."
I retired at the end of 1994 at age 51. I was a chip-maker since 1967. I had a (Unattended) racial sensitivity training meeting still on my calendar when I left. (I used to say I am in Galt's Gulch, I don't know why I don't anymore.)
