I retired from the Department of Veterans Affairs Readjustment Counseling Service in 1996 after serving as Regional Manager of the Northeast Region including New England, New York, New Jersey, Puerto Rico, St. Thomas, VI and St. Croix, VI.
In 2006 I retired a second time from Wareham, MA public schools. After that I worked part-time as a drug and alcohol counselor until I retired completely.
I have been blessed with excellent health and am enjoying life.
I am sure none of my classmates ever thought I would succeed at much of anything but I never had any doubt. They certainly never thought I would complete a bachelor and two masters degrees.
