BRAVO TO CINCINNATI BELL! While my time at Cincinnati Bell was short at two years, I happily discovered the people were outstanding, the responsibilities were manageable and the benefits were numerous. However, June 24 2013, my body clock turned 62 years of age and after 50 years of working, (the last 36 years sitting at a desk, which I find most hard to believe), and after raising two wonderful sons Jay and Tyler whom I will forever be very proud of, I am happily retired. I am having so much fun, I really do not know how I had the time to work all those years. But now there are always more sports to continue to play, more miles to run, more exercise to achieve and more good deeds waiting to help those in need. We can't change the past, we don't know the future, so we must live as if we are in paradise today.My wishes are very positive for everyone and remember my favorite quote, "MAY THE HINGES OF OUR FRIENDSHIP NEVER GROW RUSTY."

After four great years, April 29, 2011 was my last work day at Siemens IT Solutions and Services Procurement. The reasons for leaving were a Corporate buy-out of the USA IT Division and downsizing.

American Financial Company (AFG) was wonderful to work for. I left AFG to be part of the original Siemens Team to create a USA centralized Purchasing department.
