I find your articles dealing with retired teachers’ second acts absolutely delightful. An insight into our lives after retirement is uplifting and a source of appreciation for the peace of mind made possible by the stability of a pension system and a strong union. 

I am especially thankful during these times of hardship and struggles and pain from an invasive pandemic and survival under the rule of a distorted mind leading our incredible nation. It gives me some peace of mind to know we may soon be going into a new reality.
