Goodbye All

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   After 43 years and the last 16 of it commuting from Spotsylvania and Louisa, Friday is my last day...I am retiring.   I'm driving all week and picking up 3 slugs.  I have been on 2 bus services, 2 vanpools, rode the miserable train and for the past several years slugged with a little driving mixed in.  Slugging is the best form of transportation there is anywhere.  Like all of my fellow slugs and drivers I have had some unusual rides and passengers.  But, all-in-all each and every ride was good.  I have met some nice people, both drivers and fellow slugs.  Some of whom I will remain in touch with.

	So to all of you, goodbye and keep working to continue the slugging tradition.

	Congrats on your retirement! I believe you told us the other morning that you have retired from 2 jobs (this being the second one)and will now be gainfully employed closer to home. I wish you all the best and am glad you will not have to make this commute anymore!

Yes SJS, I retired from the USN in 1983 after 21+ years, went directly into the old US Customs Service and then to FAA for 22 years. I have a small consulting business I will manage out of my home and have booked more labor hours already than I really wanted to work. But what the heck, I can get up early (0600) catch a bass and be to work at 0800. WFM
