Hey fella, from a 35 year old ex-squid...

One of my co-workers is in his sixties, ex-marine(Ret.) West Virginia farm boy. He's been diagnosed with colon cancer for 2 years and 2 weeks ago, he had a mild heart attack. He was in the hospital for a week and now, he's back at work.

All this time, he's been in a financial position to retire.

Another man, my neighbor, up to his passing a few years ago, could keep up with us young bucks on the framing crew without a problem. He was a WW2 Europe vet like my Grandad.

MY point is, you old timers are a very tough breed. I would have NO problem serving with any of you.

Well my friend, I have not retired, and I work from 8 to 10 hours each day five days a week. I am an electican and love my work. I cannot see myself ever retiring. I did once, stayed home three weeks, my wife of 58 years said "GET A JOB OR A DIVORCE" I got a job the following week. (had to much invested in her to get another one) I have been on this fourm for many years and plan to be here many more. I seldem if ever "post" but do make replies once in a while.

Good evening and the very best to you and yours.
