I retired from OHSU in April 2015. Was thinking about doing traveling work but at age 65, I just did not have it in me to do that. Will be working part time but not at OHSU due to it receiving retirement pay from there. Also going to play more golf as there are two golf courses with a half mile from us.
Volunteer at Portland, Oregon USO three times a week to keep busy and to get out of the house. Have also been volunteering with Homes for Our Troops and Wounded Warriors projects in the Portland area.

Like sleeping in, but I am working in our yard everyday and doing things like going to nurseries, and just enjoying not working full time.
Best Friends The Naval Hospital Bremerton MEDCRUDET reserve unit members were all great friends. We started out with about 10 members in 1980 and in 1984 we had over 60 medical and dental reservists who drilled at NH Bremerton.
