Retirement (?)
On July 1
of 1997 I retired from the Michigan Public Schools System
and became the Executive Director for the Michigan Council
for Exceptional Children (MCEC). In December of 2001
Ruthann and I purchased The
Washington Street Inn,
a Bed and Breakfast located in Bluffton, IN where we both
grew up. On Feb. 1, 2002 Ruthann retired from the Community
Mental Health System in Lansing, MI after 15 years of
service, which allowed her to begin drawing a pension. Gene
left his position as the Executive Director for the Michigan
Council for Exceptional Children on June 1, 2002. While this
is certainly not "retirement", our goal is to have fun with
our new adventure and to enjoy returning to our roots.

I would like to thank you for visiting my home page. I leave you with a poem I have above my computer desk here at home which I have found to be an excellent reminder to make the most of each day. Unfortunately, I have no idea who the author is, so I can't give credit.
There was a very cautious man, who never laughed or played.
