After a life-long and enjoyable APICS related career in addition to my real career at Johnson & Johnson among other companies, I am retiring. Wife Marlene & I will be enjoying our New Hampshire home and surroundings; travelling, visiting with children & grandchildren and enjoying our new lives. Thanks to everyone who has helped me along the way. Thanks to the 100's (thousands?) of students who put up with me as their instructor over the years...I learned as much from them as they did from me...really! But I know I've helped many, many people along the way with APICS Supply Chain Education...I think I helped move the ball. Farewell my many friends, I leave with confidence that Supply Chain education and American Industry is in good hands. Carry on and adieu.Dave Rivers
