I am now home with my Dad, a young 90 year old who still looks 70, and enjoying his golden years. I have one daughter who has 2 children in Independence, Mo. and one son who has 6 children in Lees Summit, Mo. My sister works for AAFES and is the Area Loss Prevention Manager in the Beltway.
I am officially retired but am in the process of getting refired for my second and most important childhood.
In my graduation speech when I stated "Today the Hills and Tomorrow the Mountains" they (the teachers) forgot to prepare us for the other side of the mountain. I am excited and looking forward to the next 40 years.
Looking forward to tomorrow,
Roy
