    Thanks for the congrats and kind words everyone. I did not own the car continuously. I bought it in 1972, sold it in 1978. Always regretted letting it go. I was able to buy it back in 2002. It had sat untouched in my friends garage for 24 years. I plan to keep it this time 'til I'm too old to drive it.
    Bill, I bought the grill bars 39 years after buying the car the first time!

      Retirement translates into everyday being like Saturday...
      Ahhh..., Saturday is the day my wife expects me to get everything done!

      Not sure what is more surprising, the Studebaker or GE lasting until the end. But glad to hear it was a good relationship both ways.

        Dwight,

        Congratulations on both your retirement and driving the same car as you did on the first day of employment with GE. Not many people can say they did that. Also, enjoy your retirement and if I can share with you just one piece of advice, get involved in the things you like and stay busy and you will live for a very longtime.

                I have to agree with Ed. Keeping any job nowadays for any length of time is an accomplishment in and of itself. Best of everything with your retirement. Do keep busy in order to enjoy that retirement as long as possible.
