AT:   Yes, indeed, I taught school for 28 years and do receive a PERS retirement, though not a large one.  My wife and I also bought and rennovated distressed properties for resale or rental  So, I'm retired from both entrepreneurship and teaching, and feel both are important elements in American life and both contribute to making America great.  

Please realize I'm proud of my contributions to the community as both a teacher and school board member and consider education one of the cornerstones of our society. 

I'm not the least interested in anyone other than you managing your company.  I would like to see employees paid fairly and treated fairly and make no apologies for that.  Those two positions are not mutually exclusive.  

I wish you well with both your business and personal life,

regards, Gary
