All my life as an employee I came home late every night, including weekend nights, from overtime work, play rehearsals, play performances, exhibit openings, programs, receptions, formal dinners, videotaping sessions, night classes, workshops, Spirit Quests, heritage site inspections, and local and international travel. I was never there for my family.

Since I retired December 2014 I swore that I would always be with my family until the day I die. No one can tell me what to do and no one can ever change that.
