Issue # 3 - May/June 1970
How To Retire 6 Months Every Year
by Irv Thomas
Date: March 18, 1970
To: Personnel Dept.
Subject: Retirement
Four weeks from this date, on April 15, 1970, I shall be retiring, and this constitutes my four weeks notice in conformance with company standards for professionally classed employees.
I realize that retirement is an odd term to use at my age, but it is the only one that can validly be applied. The circumstances of my life are such that I need only work half the year for my physical support, and rather than spend or hoard the excess for 25 years, which is the usual custom, I would rather take my retirement in easy stages while I am still young enough to make good use of it.
