Retirement!

Hello folks,
You are communicating with a young man who is enjoying his 70th Year on this earth. We, Christene and I have spent half of this time, some 35 very busy years, in the world of Personnel Recruitment.  Our company spent some wonderful years leading, under the banner of JDA, a small group of specialists servicing the Resources Sector. In retirement, I am now embarking on a new career. We will seek to continue to make a difference each and every day. There will not be a sudden change in our circle friends. However we are no longer driven, each and every week, to address a large payroll. I no longer absolutely must read the Financial Review, no matter what, every day. These days the modest outcomes we seek are associated with helping people. I have again embraced Rotary International and Chris has a number of philanthropic pursuits but we have no wish to be completely dominated by any group or organisation. Today the sun is shining as I sit at my desk.  I can hear a couple of old Bougainville mates (Maintenance Supt`s) unpacking their motor vehicles and preparing for our 25th year Bougainville Reunion. I will no longer be anchored to this desk and this database.  I will shortly leave the desk and to again be prepared to take orders. Chris and our interstate visitors are out shopping in preparation for the picnic.  
I have incorporated within my days a fitness programme including some cycling. I will ride to support worthy causes gradually increasing the intensity, see below, the details of my Glen Innes to Goondiwindi adventure. My next significant ride will be the Rio-sponsored, Ride to Conquer Cancer. In due course I will communicate to you our fund raising arrangements.
