I am a retired school teacher as was my first wife .. She passed in 2006... We had spent most of our lives in Southern Wyoming... In 1999 we took early retirement... We were 51 and 52 years of age.. I am so glad we did.. She would have had nothing if we had waited til we were 62.. As it was we did a lot of hunting fishing, traveling and visiting relatives before she was taken.. Since then I have another partner... The only thing I would have done differently if I could have was retire right out of high school!!! I liked teaching, but have not missed it one bit.. This last year I can see myself slowing down, but I still get out most days with my dogs and shoot, cruise the hills or sometimes fish... Don't wait life is too short to spend it working.. My stepdaughter's husband is a great guy, but he has never learned how to play... All he does is work and then work around the house on week ends.. Sad!!!
