Why the Book? How it all began ....
I wrote this book as a result of my retirement to Sun City Hilton Head in South Carolina, where I came in contact with so many wonderful people. Living in this particular adult community, gave me the opportunity to associate with people of retirement age from all parts of the United States. Each person had a unique, different and refreshing story about what they did before retirement.
When meeting a new neighbor, in a friendly but not intrusive manner, "What did you do for a living before retiring?" was the usual first question. From there the conversation usually took on an interesting life of its own with each person describing what business or profession they had been in or what type of work they had done before retiring. It seemed that whenever I was coaxed into revealing what I had done for a living, the reaction was, "You ought to write a book."
Over the years I discounted the many times I heard that response as merely being a polite and kind remark. More than a year ago, after absorbing this encouragement and with plenty of time on my hands, I made a decision. I hope you enjoy the book.
