MISC. COMMENTS

I am an old guy! Finding and landing a good or better job has never been a problem. Compensation has always exceeded expectations. My credentials have never failed me.

I have worked all of my life and would like to continue, full time, part time or contract, temporary or permanent. We are two people with a large motor home that can be relocated anywhere immediately. At age 72 and 68 we are very comfortable financially and do not require benefits or health care. We recently sold our two functioning retail stores in Cloudcroft, NM and would like to begin another activity. There are no restrictions on our ability to relocate or travel.
