Not really. Well, I guess moving into the end of your career, what made you decide to retire, and when was that?

SB

Well, it was actually in May of '94 and I was a little bit beyond the minimum retirement time and age, so when it was May and I said, hey it's going to be good fishing this summer! Well, on a little more serious note, I had finished up some research and I stayed on about a year or so to actually write it up, to make sure it got all done. And, but then you have to set a kind of tentative date, because you don't want to start another research project and then say, well the time's up, I'm out the door. So, when I got to a pretty good, what I considered a pretty reasonable stopping place, I said, well, I'll stay until I write this up, which I anticipated would be six months to a year. And I had it pretty well finished by then, so time to go fishing.
