Joe,

No problem!

Dan Brouthers is buried in St. Mary's Cemetery in Wappingers Falls, NY. Small town - nice though.

I'm a stock broker, but I've been out on LTD for about three years because of a back injury.

The job is rewarding, but my God, it can be stressful at times.

Would have retired from the Marine Corps last month but got out a handful of years ago. Wasn't sure how many more lives this cat had left in him. Got out with enough sanity to start a beautiful family and now I sell stuff to the government.

what I do
 

great to see so many servicemen in our community! Thank you to all!

I work for an insurance company in the 'burbs of Boston on the investments side of the house. Not nearly as exciting as everyone else's job (or so it seems).

One might argue that I have a part-time job of baseball card collecting (and occasional selling) during the day. Sometimes I wonder if my hobby/addiction will turn into something more full-time.

first and foremost a stay at home father of a wonderful 3 year old. I work part time at make sense candles company and also make candle and tarts for burner that i sell.

I manage money...
 

for wealthy individuals, non-profits, and Foundations.
I often think to myself, when in meetings with clients: "Do you know how many vintage cards you could buy with all the money you have?!" :D:rolleyes:

Professional Land Surveyor 23 years 30 years total

Offset Printing Production Manager for 22 years. Large format 28x40 using 6 color Planeta presses.Retired in 2009. Also sold real estate for 20 years.

Just wanted to say thank you to all those who served in the military.
I fix teeth :)

Licensed Civil Engineer, was doing commercial site design until commercial construction pretty much stopped during the recession and that job went away in 2009. Ramped up selling collectibles (primarily on eBay) from on-the-side to full-time, and have been doing that ever since. I essentially took a big pay cut, and the hours are about the same, but working from home means I see my boys (3 yrs & 9 mos) much more than I would otherwise. As long as the ends are still meeting (barely), I think it's worth it, though there are times that the stability of a regular engineering job can be pretty tempting.

Ted, great car. That's as much a classic as any of the cards you post. :)

You say you have two of them. What years are they?

Retired UPS Manager and Financial Advisor.

I have a part time gig as State Inspector for professional boxing, mixed martial arts and wrestling. They actually pay me to sit ringside!

Thanks to all of the N54 members who served in the military. You'll never hear me refer to any sports figure as a hero (never did, even as a child). I save that for all of you! FYI... whenever I'm feeling bad that I have to work a lot of hours or even a little depressed, I watch a war movie (started doing this when I was about 25). It doesn't take long for me to realize I have nothing to complain about.

Sold my business and retired when I was 40. Retirement lasted one year (pretty much the most boring year of my life). I realize now I want to work right up to the day I die.

Right now I'm manage a golf course, restaurant and banquet facility I bought with some friends and family in 2002. I'm also own a software consulting business which is really my primary job.

Stay safe and thanks so much for your service!

Two jobs for me
 

My standard internet response...for a bunch of years I have been a purveyor of doohickeys and whatchamacallits for a world thirsty for thingamabobs of this nature.

Of course my woman thinks my second job is pursuing vintage baseball cards.

I know what I'd be inspecting in that photo.:eek::eek:

Retired in 1994, after 30-something years in the mortgage industry. I created a mortgage company for a large aerospace corporation and established an operations center to purchase mortgage loans from the western half of the United States for a large east coast insurance corporation. Spent a few years taking screenwriting classes and art/watercolor classes trying to find a way not to go back in to the mortgage industry.

Ended up taking a job with the county where I assess commercial and industrial properties for real estate tax purposes. Get to see a lot of interesting businesses in the county including a couple of convents (they are still inventoried though not taxed), crematoriums, new shopping malls, theme restaurants and the place they wash the county's buses.

I enjoy what I'm doing now, I get to be outdoors most of the time and the work is not physically taxing (excuse the pun). Not sure when I'll retire again.

Great thread! Very interesting and impressive folks on here (and thx to those who serve or have served our country). I am closing in on nearly 25 years in the municipal bond industry in various roles - managing mutual funds, inst'l sales or trading for several large banks. Continue to coach my 3 kids in numerous sports (baseball, softball, hoops, flag football, etc), spend quality time with my wife and collect my beloved cubs (autographs, t-cards, memorabilia from pennant and WS champ teams). Enjoy meeting or emailing with other collectors! Best, Kit
