Not that I am aware of. I was never sure exactly what he did but it was 
blue collar. Most blue collar workers see retirement as the carrot at the 
end of the tunnel even if it doesn't turn out as sweet as anticipated. My

forward to a lot of fishing and hunting. He died in January of my senior 
year.
