Very interesting to learn what some retired faculty are doing. While my career in physics was in industry, I have been “retired” for 20 years. During that time I have been able to pursue numerous opportunities near to my heart and mind. I still continue to do consulting in the field of 3-D printing, at age 86. I also taught a special series of seminars in Celestial Navigation at the Museum of Yachting in Newport, Rhode Island, and am currently restoring a classic sailboat, with a partner, in Wickford, Rhode Island. For me, a mix of intellectual and physical activities works best.
