Retirement Gift

bigbull1 · Nov 24, 2009

This week I ended my 30 1/2 year career with the State of Nevada in the law enforcement sector. While not ready to "hang it up yet", I have accepted employment part time with a private firm that works under the authority of the US Marshall's Office.

My wife wanted to do a big retirement party, but it really isn't me. Long story short, she bought me a coues archery hunt in January with Ward's Outfitting in Southern Arizona instead of the party.

I am a lucky guy....

Very cool! You must have liked your job to have gone 30 1/2 years at it! I can't imagine the stories you have, and the ones you've forgotten. Thanks for the work you did, enjoy your semi retired life!

Congrats to you Ed and well deserved. I think I was retired a few years when we first met and you told me then you were looking forward to the retirement time down the road a bit. Have a good one and see you one of these days soon I hope.

That sounds like a great retirement party to me. You now just need to retire each year from now on.

BuckeyeBoy · Nov 25, 2009

Congrats 30 years is a long time in this job, I have a little over 12 years in LE and at least 18-20 more to go. Have fun on your hunt sounds like it can be a challeging hunt with a bow.
