Retired from the Navy in 2009 after 30 years of service. Currently working for the government. Will retire in 6 years for good. Nice to see some of you retired in your 50's. Nice!

I started a company, Duke Cannon Supply Co., that markets and sells men's grooming products. Our mission is to provide men alternatives to using teenage body wash like Axe. I also consult on the side.

Retired a few yrs ago. Been in some form of Retail all my working life.

Was NE Regional Merchandising Supervisor for the RayOVac Battery Corp (now Spectrum) at retirement. Before that I managed a bar in Downtown Providence for 10 yrs. Also spent 15 yrs managing shoe stores in the south for the Kinney Shoe Corp.

I soled them, I consoled them & then I lit them up!

I have a job in hockey - it's a year round gig. It's mostly fun - but like most jobs - it has its downfalls (especially lately!)

On a rare Sunday off - and unrelated to this thread - here's a pic of "Big Dan" visiting his final resting place this afternoon:

Final Audit inspector for a company that supplies fuel, oil, hydraulic, and air conditioning, etc. tubes for all sorts of John Deere agricultural machinery and lawncare equipment. Guess you'd say I'm their "GUARDIAN ANGEL", but I pray most sincerely to my dear Lord Jesus to help me intercept any rejection-able parts, packaging, and informational tags. ---Brian Powell

Thanks so much, Jeff! I appreciate it!
I'm a big fan of early poster work, too... can't collect for lack of space, but I drool when I see something amazing... (like The Stenberg Brothers early Russian movie posters...)
