Well, I think your letter and his were both examples of what I was suggesting. When I left my company, the actual letter was a brief formality, I coveyed the pleasentries verbally. > In fact, it wasn't a job transition.

Many people retire from government and then go straight into jobs working for companies that work with/for the government. WhereI worked, a friend of mine took early retirement, and then worked almost 15 years for another firm. I wasn't able to pick up his age, but his resume indicates that he's probably still in his '50s or early '60s at most. > Any comments on the publishing date being moved up?
