At last!

Thought I'd post this fun shot of myself taken last year when I got to RETIRE!!!!! My very clever eldest son had this shirt made for me. Wore it on my last day of work. I worked in healthcare for 37 years and miss some aspects but on the whole, nah. Looking forward to much more photography time.

Pam, that is great that you've escaped the 9-to-5 rat race! I hope to do the same myself within the next few years, and spend more time building on this 10-year project called NPN.

Pam, I would have thought you were only 37!
Nice to meet you, Joe.

Hey Pam, nice to see you post this image from last year, heck, you have not aged at all from when I first saw this image last year.

I do recall this neat shot from seeing it at OE.

Seriously Pam, I hope you are enjoying the retirement days as much as I am. How is the new cabin / house coming along?
Gosh, I cannot believe it is already two years for me now. I also noticed you had worked in healthcare as long as I did the Dial Tone thing, 37 long ones. Although, I have to admit I had an additional 8 years doing other stuff before that stretch.

Hi pam - Congrats on the retirement, and great picture. Retiring after 37 years - you must have started work when you were only 2 years old!!

As a practicing tech, I envy your retirement :). I've got another 30 years or so, hopefully at my current facility but that is in jeopardy now due to greedy docs.

I don't look in this gallery often, but your shirt caught my eye :).

Pamela on the photo you look younger than 37. At what age did you start working? happy retirement.
