Congrats Jackie! I too just retired on 1/4/10 after 34.5 years in the business. I think we shared this before, but I was also a Program Administrator and Principal since 1996 and was teaching Secondary/Science and other roles for 20 of those years. Feel your journey...long haul, but rewarding. I am also consulting for my old employer, OCDE, but really reeling in this new freedom...hope you feel the same. Enjoy!
