Retiree Perspective: Enrich Your Retirement With a Hobby

December 27, 2021

The measure of our life can be summed up by the richness of our retirement years. In our youth, many of us struggled for self-sufficiency. Our goal back then was to find a job, buy a home, raise our children and improve our job skills. Most of us did not have the time nor the… [Read More]

Retiree Perspective: Unions and Liberty – You Can’t Have One Without the Other

October 6, 2021

Human nature provides us a license to complain about our circumstances, no matter the quality of our life.  As a retired union member my urge, to criticize, is muted by the economic security I enjoy. We learned long ago that, without an opposing force, employers will short change our wages and our personal safety.  The… [Read More]

Retiree Perspective: The Fragility of Liberty Requires Continual Cultivation

June 4, 2021

 Liberty is a fundamental principle of life. It is uniquely individual, but must include all.  It is nonpartisan and accepts all beliefs. Because it is so embedded into the fabric of our lives, it is easy to take for granted. To perpetuate liberty, it must be nurtured and we can never lose sight of its… [Read More]
