	At the end of this month I will be closing my office that  I have here  in downtown Barberton, Oh.  
</p>

<p>
	I will still be practicing, on a limited basis, so I guess you could say that I will be "semi-retired".   I just won't have a permanent office for clients to come to.  I will either meet them at their house, or at one of the local libraries, or in the conference room of the pair of attorneys whose offices are currently next to mine now.  I have over 38 years in to practice,  17 of those at this current location. 25 years total in Barberton, before that 13 years in Norton.
</p>

<p>
	I will continue to serve as a magistrate in the local Mayor's court.  That is only a twice a month thing. 
</p>

<p>
	I am not sure but I still think I owe Dutch Oven a lunch at Al's which is only a few doors down from me now.  Or does he owe me?  Oh well.  He better come quick.

			Good luck to you Gip enjoy your new part time working or not working status. Plus Social Security and Medicare greatly help when you hit 62 or 65 or whenever you decide to kick back and take it. Just get a gap policy if needed and you're all set.
