Abstract:
Retiring Minds: Life after Work celebrates the possibilities and honors the inevitabilities that ensue after leaving professional duties behind. In memoir, journal, fiction, and poetry, What To Do Now is treated with wit and wisdom. The authors include a dean, a librarian, and college teachers of art, economics, English, family studies, hospitality and tourism, speech, sociology, and theater. In retirement they are actors, photographers, travelers, volunteers, and writers. They have great stories to tell and share them with candor.
