Retirement Announced

This week in Pittsburgh we had a team event at work. It was planned as a golf outing, but rain and the threat of more rain caused us to substitute bowling. It was a great afternoon of bowling which was then capped off with dinner at a Japanese Steakhouse. We had a separate room and our group of thirty two. We celebrated Margaret Mackenzie’s retirement. Margaret is a wonderful person and is extremely interesting. She has been working as a full time consultant at D&T and running her dairy farm in West Virginia for several years. Margaret is 64 and the high travel demands and long hours finally got to her. Jim Bertino as planned used this opportunity to announce my retirement. This was a real surprise to most everyone as I had kept this very close to the vest at work. While we felt pretty certain about our date, I felt the need to keep my options open if I change my mind or if something unforeseen happened. I really felt everyone was happy for me.
