You were in loads of shows I enjoyed, Crazy Like a Fox, Dallas, The Love Boat, Dukes of Hazzard, to name a few. Thanks for all of the entertainment you brought.

I have been doing a lot of that care for the last few years. Hardest job I ever had. I get a lot of help from Vitas a Palliative Hospice and Hospice as well as Right at Home. We had Trusted Home Care for a while and had a great Filipina but she was not always available to come here.

Have done some kind of care on-and-off since volunteering at the Reno, Nevada Veterans' Hospital for a year of Saturday afternoons in 1977-1978. We had Veterans from the Spanish American War through to Vietnam in the long term care section. A number of them passed that year. Think the Spanish American vet was around 100 years old.

I had a friend at the U of Denver Graduate Library School who ended up on various bases' libraries as a librarian of some kind. She retired though. She is on Facebook every so often showing her travels.

I believe she was at the on base libraries.

I was a Professional Electrical Engineer, worked for an electric utility over 40 years. Started as a commissioning engineer at a power plant then transferred to design engineering. I have been "retired" for over 10 years, but my wife says I stay very busy helping others, so that is my current occupation.

I too spent fourteen years as a teacher, coach, athletic director, and driver Ed instructor. Sold real estate in the summers. Then twenty years with a major insurance and securities company in field management - retired from there and spent five years with another major financial services company as a home office marketing manager. Loved every minute of all my jobs.
I play a lot of executive golf as a single. Usually discuss our respective careers. If find it fascinating to learn about people.
