Popular Post AndyH Posted January 17 Popular Post Share Posted January 17 The end of December marked the end (at least for now) of my 41+ years in this business, starting as a part time DC system programmer (before I knew what a "forfeiture" was) and ending as an Enrolled Actuary with all the ASPPA exams completed as well. I have also been a Benefitslink Board participant for more than 23 years. Here, as well as through the exams, is where I learned my stuff. I am grateful for the learning, teaching and helping opportunities (and more than a little fun) created by Dave and Lois Baker through this awesome system. Their efforts aren't appreciated enough. Thanks also to the countless Board participants that have educated and helped me over the years; and I hope I've been able able to help others as well. I still plan to linger now and then but goodbye and Happy New Year for now! Thanks again Dave and Lois.

Belgarath Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Congratulations! And we'd like to extend this Laurel, and Hardy handshake (sorry, my so-called sense of humor again). I have appreciated your commentary over the years. As with all such announcements, I'm very jealous, but nevertheless I very sincerely wish you a very long, healthy, and happy retirement! Take care.

Popular Post EPCRSGuru Posted January 17 Popular Post Share Posted January 17 Thank you, AndyH, and thanks for reminding us all to recognize the amazing resource that Dave and Lois Baker have created for all of us. As I have moved between HR and TDA and back again I have benefitted from BenefitsLink and especially the forums to refresh my memory or to get up-to-speed on a new facet of retirement administration. Best wishes, AndyH, on your retirement, and gratitude to the Dave and Lois! Dave Baker, AndyH, RatherBeGolfing and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imchipbrown Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 I was driven out by the (In)secure Act 2.0. I still lurk every day. It confirms my decision to hang up my ghosts. I got many a piece of good advice on these boards. Dave and Lois, you've provided an invaluable service and I'm eternally grateful for it.

Tom Poje Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Congrats Andy. Thanks for all the sharing of info. And putting up with my very dry humor over the years I only look in once and a rare while but at least I was inspired to look in at a good time. God bless on your retirement.

Mainer Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Congrats on your retirement. I'll be following you out the door at the end of this year (and 42 years in the CPA racket.) I'm basically just a lurker here but I try to read the board every day. It's an invaluable resource and I 100% echo your message of deep appreciation.

Thanks to the guy that always claims to have minimal DB knowledge but who's comments I almost always (if not always) agree with! And thanks for all the humor and entertaining comments over the years!

Thanks Tom you've been very much missed here! I hope you are enjoying your retirement. Not sure if you ever increased your church going (probably) and bread baking (probably not) like you said you were going to, but I do know we don't have any new pension songs from you, so time to get back in the studio😁 Bill Presson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if I told you, but it took me a while to figure out who "Bri" was and that he (not she as I thought) actually worked with me. But I was always impressed with your comments lol. You're one of the current and future Benefitslink stars! That's good because lots of the old ones are gone or getting quiet these days. But not all of them.....

Tom Poje Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Andy - Yes, without having the pressures of a work schedule, I now attend morning Mass. And taught myself how to play the psaltery, so they even get a little extra music for the morning. Wonderful instrument, wish I had discovered it earlier. I seem to recall one of the questions I worked into the Nondiscrimination answer book went something like "Andy's Heart Nut Company..." May God grant you many years of wonderful retirement.
