Pine Creek Railroad posted:Gentlemen,
Pushing 70 now and have been retired from my main Career as a US Army CID Special Agent, for almost 12 years now. Thanks to my last real boss President Reagan, I also retired from my secondary Career as a Sr Welding Engineer working on the NASA Space Shuttle, in the Star Wars Program.
Almost cashed it in from an Agent Orange Widow Maker Heart Attack 3 years back. God has watched over me personally my entire life, and granted me a one in a Billion Reprieve, God has granted me a life like few others have ever dreamed about. Because of my main Career I have very few actual friends. The few I once had have most all passed away.
Because of my O Gauge Train Hobby, I am not lonely, I have my memories and my beautiful wife. I am very old school and believe in God, Family and Country over all else.
For you ladies and gentlemen just retiring I wish you the kind life God has granted me. Live it for all it's worth, you only walk this way one time.
