Well folks it's time for me to follow in the foot steps of the famous Bob Currie and move on to the next phase of my life.

On December 10th I will be ending my career in Blood Banking. I am semi-retiring to a small town in Wyoming to work in a clinic that does moderately complex and waived testing only. I will be trying to remember things I have not even thought of in 25+ years.

I will continue to haunt these page occasionally in the future but my imput will be based on historical information and not current real time.

Cliff, thanks for putting together such a terrific site for blood bankers to get together and learn from each other. I finally exceeded your number of posts so it's time to move on.

Cheers

John

We will miss your input. Enjoy semi-retirement....enjoy the company of your dogs...they don't care what you do as long as you include time for them!

John, best of luck to you. I will miss you sticking up for me when I post one of my rants. Stop in from time to time to see what you are missing. I am sure you will have no regrets. :bye:

Regards.

John, you know what they say about keeping those brain cells in shape! :D Flex those dudes, now, trying to remember all that stuff! :strong:

Best of luck to you and remember to stay in touch. I do occasionally make it out your way (my family is in Denver). Test me! Do I know the small WY town to which you're retiring? I lived in CO for 30 years.

Enjoy the small side of tech life . . . I'm certain you'll remember all the important stuff. AND please keep active on this site, your input is greatly appreciated.

Good luck in retirement, and don't forget about those of us who have to work more years than we've been alive to even sniff retirement:cries:

And don't forget about the optomistic blood banker's outlook on life: B Positive

Does this mean we get to retire if we pass Cliff in number of posts? A new goal!

We will miss you here John. Don't be a stranger.

I've enjoyed your input and I appreciated your advise on ECHO. Wyoming is gorgeous. Enjoy your retirement.

Looks like I should either retire or cut back on posting. Wouldn't be the first time it was suggested I be quiet. :)

John, we have had a long on-line run all these years. I feel like I know you though we have never met. Enjoy the change and keep in touch.

Hmm, Maybe I'll go into the database and set my post count at 50,000 to keep people from leaving. :P

John,

I have enjoyed your posts and have appreciated you sharing your experiences/opinions/advice and your humor on this forum.

Best of luck with your semi-retirement. Hopefully you will occassionally be just a teensy bit bored and will visit Blood Bank Talk often.

Good luck! I have enjoyed your posts. Please check back from time to time.

I must admit I am jealous! Retirement seems too far away for me (and more distant now, as I watch the stock market gyrate!)

you have contributed much ideas, opinion to this forum your experience as a seasoned blood bank practioner will be a big help for other practioners like my self. so keep on posting....

good luck on your semi retirement john

As one rapidly approaching retirement as well, I wish you the best ...

Thanks for passing on some of your wit and wisdom to us Blood Bankers. I hope "artificial blood" hits the market before our knowledge disappears -- I see few new MT's interested in spending their careers hunched over a viewer shaking tubes like we did.

Thank you for your quality input and blood bank experience that was shared with the rest of us. I hope you continue to post.

Well everyone this is my last day. Thank you for all the kind words. I will be intouch but much less frequently and all of my comments will have to be taken in a historical context and not my current practice.

It's been a good ride and I hope you all fair as well.

Cheers

John
