Me and "Sweetie Face" (Connie) in
2002 |
I retired from GTE in November of 1995. I'd been
working on the "Process Re-engineering" team to redefine how GTE would do
business. Our efforts were so successful, we planned ourselves out of a
job. The team had the opportunity to find positions in "the new company"
but I had my points for retirement... so I decided it was time to leave
corporate life behind.
Connie retired from GTE in the summer of 1996
and we found our way back to Coeur d'Alene.
I started up a small
one-man business designing and supporting Internet sites. It's called
NetBest Internet Services and it's provided the resources to keep a boat in the
water on Lake Coeur d'Alene and has assured that I'm seldom
bored.

On the personal side... It
would be easy to become melancholy and focus on the sad times and the terrible
losses we've experienced.. but I wont. I would prefer to say that MOST of
my life (since MHS) has been as I'd have wanted it to be. I've experienced
great joy and adventure. I have many wonderful memories and, I hope, many
years left to remember them. Perhaps, without the great aches in life, it
would have been hard to be grateful for the glorious times I've had.
I
will keep my little company going as a diversion and spend my private time
looking for light fun, peace of mind and attempting to commit a few
"Random Acts of Kindness". |
