Was it 52 years all at the same job? If so, that is impressive. Hope that company can manage without you. Best wishes!! Well I worked for 37 years in a residential treatment center for kids with developmental disabilities. Then we got a new C.E.O. who was the opposite of how I dealt with staff and poof...I was gone. Wound up getting head--hunted by the technical school here doing student support and teaching interview skills, etc. for about 4 years. Then got hired by the State of Wisconsin helping folks develop their Resumes, find jobs, etc. The good days always outweighed the bad and I was able to use the skills I had to help folks get themselves out of the holes they had fallen into and get on with a life that can be really good...like mine! Now for the next chapter... Moosetrot

Have to admit it feels kind of weird today to spend time on Trapperman in the morning without feeling like I have to get to work. Life is good and I certainly will enjoy the time to take part in it fully. Moosetrot

Moosetrot OP trapper M Joined: Jan 2007 Wisconsin	Originally Posted by 330-Trapper Congratulations You two deserve it. Keep us informed on the New Rifle What are you hoping to find? Not even sure at this point. I already have many, many guns of all types. Been thinking about .45/70 but not sure my shoulder can take the pounding anymore. Henry has some nice ones. Also been thinking about a .22 magnum as I have always wanted to try calling coon. Been looking at the Savage A22 Mag but also the basic Henry. I don't have a 44 mag revolver but have a Dan Wesson .357 mag that I can shoot very well. Thinking about the Taurus Hunter 44 with a 4" barrel in a horizontal chest holster for easy draw while hunting with rifles. I think what I am going to have to do is hang out in gun shops and shows and when something catches my eye I will buy it. Tough spot to be in, eh? Moosetrot
