July 29th, 2011 was my last day of officially working as a full-time employee. ISA (Innovative Signal Analysis, Inc) has graciously given me an opportunity to work part-time on an as needed basis and thus I no longer have to go in to work regularly.
So your question is: what will I do next?
Well, for starter, I will just have to enjoy my free time for a little bit and be a vegetable, then there are travel plans that Jan and I have always wanted to do. We also want to do some mission work and will begin looking at opportunities with our church's mission ministry. There are also work around the house that I haven't been able to do while I was still working full-time. I think for the next two years we already have a rough idea of where we will be going, and what kind of house works to be done. After that we will be looking at our other thing in the ever changing bucket list.
Here's a summary of my work career:
June 1967: Arrived in the US at the age of 20, Gr Rapids, MI
1967-1970: Attended Calvin College, Gr Rapids, MI, Pre-Engineering
1970-1972: Attended University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI, BSEE
1972-1977: Lear Sigler, Inc., Grand Rapids, MI
1977-1982: Magnavox Gov't Industrial and Elect. Co., Ft Wayne, IN
1982-1986: Raytheon Company, Sudbury, MA
1986-2002: E-Systems Inc/Raytheon Company, Garland, TX
2002-2011: Innovative Signal Analysis, Inc., Richardson, TX
That's it. from 1972 to 2011 is 39 years of continuous employment and I think I am ready for some R&R.

Facebook has spoiled me; I want to hit "Like" at the end of your post. That's a pretty positive and succinct summation of your career. Congratulations again on your retirement.
I was looking for a "like" button in regards to Brian's comment! :)
You have your dates slightly off, because I was born in 1977 in Fort Wayne. But all in all, that's pretty amazing. Thanks for working hard for us. I'm pretty certain I can say that we all work as hard as we do because you showed us the way. Love you.
