    Re: Retirement towns

    It's counterintuitive to me that Iron Glove, having completed a career in insurance, does not see people as risks to be managed, nor ascribe to demographic generalizations. I admit that I'm more a Calvin and Hobbes type.

    A happy retirement to those whom live in Hope! (Double entendre intended)

    Edit: I don't intend to retire myself, but continue to invest in my marriage, children, and close community, and to leave an inheritance to any legitimate grandchildren I may have, if I live so long.

    Hmm, interesting comment for sure.
    The difference tho' is that I spent 50 years "managing risk" for objects, not humans, big difference IMHO.
    Hard to "manage" human risk, believe me. We've had many, many successes and thankfully only a few "losses" in the family.
    Marriage, Family and Community, I think you've got your shit together more than you think.

    On Hope, BC.

    Definitely one of the most picturesque & friendliest small towns in BC.

    Some memories of Hope locals

    Bill Hatton & Joe Kalfics, both from Hope were my good friends that I met while attending SFU in ’66.

    Was up there more than a few times & truly enjoyed it.

    Bill, an artist, teacher & hunter moved to Gabriola Is. when he got married & Joe also a teacher to Merritt. Their families stayed behind.

    Bill may now be back in Hope.

    Haven’t spoken to both in many years.

    Bill was/is a true hunter. We shared more than a few hunts. He was the only hunter I knew that would eat/taste deer liver raw shortly after the deer was killed
