As a teacher at Harrison School, I really like the arrangement, loved the students, their parents, my student teachers from Cleve. State, but when I turned sixty, I decided to retire. My principal couldn't convince me to stay. After 20 years in the classroom, Bert + I decided to see some more of the country.
At the end of the school year, I retired after 16 great years at Harrison School, and 23 total years for retirement. (The last three years were a buy-out for all teachers that year, but my principal insisted it wasn't for me!) At the age of 60 I was ready to travel with family.

Our first trip after retirement was to head north + east from Cleveland to Albany and view the glorious fall colors.
