Cassp,
It is great that you get to retire at 54. That should give you a lot of years to do a lot of fun things.
I conclude you must be an 8th grade teacher up there in Michigan. I always felt the 8th grade was my best year through school including college. I went to a country school that had 8 grades and the principal was our teacher. He remained my friend until he died a couple of years ago.
Happy retirement and best to you,
