Wow, that's great.

The longest I've ever been at one place is 8 years.

But then, that's my choice.

You will be so busy now that you will have to go back to work to rest . Way to go, I retired 13 1/2 yrs. ago at the age of 51 and I have never been happier or busier in my live and I love it. I do more Corvette things in the last 13 years then I ever did in my life. I have been all over the United States and to Europe several times doing Corvette things and meeting great Corvette people. Only in America can you do this.
