Retiring with Friends

Keith had a wonderful turnout of state employees for his 

retirement luncheon today... it was at the 

Blind Tiger in Topeka, and oh my goodness... the food was so good! 

Here's Keith shaking the hand of Chuck Magaha, the 

emergency manager for Leavenworth County, and also, the fire captain 

for Fairmount Township.  Chuck and Keith are good friends, and Chuck drove the 60 miles to 

have lunch with us, and say "official goodbye" to Keith. 

But here's the rest of the story... 

He has agreed to volunteer for the state and do a 

type of record keeping for which he and another employee were responsible. 

That person has left the state's employ and the files are not in order, 

so Keith is going to go to Topeka off and on and ride herd on them. 

And... he's interviewing, starting next week, for Chuck, for 

assistant fire chief (a paid position) for the township. 

I'm wondering when he's going to fit retirement in!
