Me: Recently retired Respiratory Therapist (RRT), but picked up a casual position at hospital close to Ocean View (my hobby, as my co-workers' call it!)

Hubby: Retired Amtrak foreman.

Re: What was your profession prior to retirement? This is really interesting.
 

Both working part time. Me, as a data analyst/statistician/grant writer, in a university research center, my husband as a physician. We are both lucky because I can take my computer with me and crunch numbers and write proposals anywhere, and my husband because the county is so anxious to keep him from retiring completely that they are willing to let him have a month off at a time. Works out just fine.

In our former lives I was an Army nurse (Brooke Army Medical Center, Ft. Sam Houston, TX) and he was an Army doc (Brooke, Walter Reed, Madigan).
