...from the Fire Service. Decided that May 1 will be my official "retirement" date from the Grand Blanc Fire Department. I've been with them for 21 1/2 years and being past 69, I ain't getting any younger. Counting my USAF Reserve time, I've got over 41 years being associated with the Fire Service. It's been great, but I can tell it's getting harder for me to keep on doing it. The physical demands take their toll. I'll be turning over most of the training materials I've developed to one of our young firefighters that is working on becoming a certified fire instructor. I have no plans to continue teaching subjects once I leave.
What to do now? Keep on using our rig like a summer cottage in Northern Michigan, only more so, since I won't have to worry about training schedules, run quotas and all the other time demands that go with it. I've got plenty of home projects and we will still travel without the rig occasionally. Already have a cruise booked for summer of next year!
