Retirement: I retired from the State Department of Defense on December 1, 2016. It was a great 10+ years as a State employee. The position allowed me to extend my association with the Hawai‘i National Guard to more than 48 years.

The Retiree News website will continue into the foreseeable future. Website posts will eventually end when contacts for information like change of commands, promotions and other events move on or retire.

Thanks to all of you for your continuing support of Retiree News.
