Great article, Jim! I see this need in my own family members, and need to acknowledge it more than I do. Thanks for the reminder!

The reason I ask is that I'm going to be out of town May 20-26.

Hopefully, they'll give you something useful ... like the rocking chair I got. 😐

That would be cool!!! That week is the last week of school so you may need to watch the world wide release of the retirement video.
