Our kids are on campus right now, for now so we still need our IT people and other support staff. I was told on Friday of last week that I would be finished in December. I am older than you are, so I can do it, I wanted another year of work to pay off some things, but we will be ok. I feel for all of the other staff on our campus and others who will suffer because of this horrible pandemic.

Take care!
