What did you do in your working life before you moved to this Adult Disneyland. Which I love by the way. I'll start, I was a Commercial and Residential Painting Contractor serving the Midwest. I also bought and sold commercial and residential Real Estate. My Company was founded in 1966 and is still going strong. I retired 11 yrs ago, and Chris took over. Now it's your turn. Len

Your question assumes one stopped doing what they did before moving here. I brought my job with me and have no immediate plans to retire, unfortunately. I work in IT in the healthcare industry.

I started off in Retailing and was a buyer for Bloomingdales then manged some boutiques. Back to school and got a degree in Computer Science. Traveled the country installing IMS software. Took a buyout and bought Camp Gone to the Dogs in VT. Ran the business for 10 years and sold it. Happily retired!

If we go way way back I sold shoes at AS Becks at East Gate Shopping Center in Roseville. I grew up in East Detroit, 10 mi rd. Sound Familiar?

I was the Assistant to the Superintendent of Schools in the second largest school district in Kentucky. I retired in my late 40’s. I did not like retirement and reentered the workforce as Assistant to the Provost in a Kentucky college. This time around, I am loving retirement!

I have been blessed!
