Michael's Story
I retired the first time in 2005 from Blue Cross (becoming WellPoint, Anthem, and now apparently Elevance Health). A few years later I briefly worked at Kaiser. Am still married to Sharon and our boys Michael and Matthew are now in their 30's.
My circumstance at Blue Cross was very favorable: retired after the buyout from Anthem with a payout and stock options that have assured a comfortable retirement. We have moved once from one side of Santa Clarita to the other. We now border the Angeles forest and have evacuated twice due to wild fires.

Thanks to Sharon's persistence I found my birth family. We maintain contact with a number of my siblings and every passing year has yielded new relations I didn't know I had. We found out through looking at genealogy records that my first wife (Stephanie Herbaugh from UC Riverside) died a little over 30 years ago.
Besides trying to learn a number of subjects out of curiosity, I spend my time playing golf, playing music on keyboards. and traveling. We have been to all the continents and oceans and quite a few seas. It is something Sharon and I both enjoy and we have some couple friends who we travel with on occasion. My golf friends were especially valuable during Covid as we could keep each other sane a couple of times a week.
