Humm....
Share a fun fact about you
Well, I guess it was fun - I met my wife on a Greyhound bus 54 years ago and we got engaged at Pali Lookout and we are still married ☺

What nugget of wisdom would you like to share with the new mentors
Connect is a great opportunity that can sometimes be a little scary but the great thing is all of the support behind the scenes - your fellow moderators, mentors and director + all of the social media support team. Need help? Just ask in the Mentors & Moderators group or send a PM.
What I've learned
I've received much more back from Connect than I've given. It is so worth it being a mentor!
P.S. - We are both still working full time. I'm 75 and she's xx (can't tell you!). She has promised that I can retire for the second time January 2020.

@johnbishop I would love to still be working, but I lost my C/S position due to my manager stepping down and taking it! It ended up working out for the best because not too long after that I had my first HE episode and I would not have been comfortable working and taking sick days due to my situation. By the time I was OK again, finding a new job would have been very difficult due to my age. I actually enjoy working!
