December 9 we will be meeting for the Plant ONE tour.
More details will be in the December Issue of the "Reporter"

Hello all,

I know it's still awhile away, but I wanted to get this to you so you can plan to attend.

The plan for the December luncheon is to hold it at Plant 1 instead of Plant 6. As you remember, at last December's meeting, our Joe Shiver spoke about all the changes that were going to happen. Well, they're now all in place, so we'd like to fulfill our promise to have the retirees be among the very first from the community to see inside.

Vera has scheduled a speaker (Diane Clikeman-Miller). My thought is, after Diane speaks, we would offer plant tours to all who are interested.

Your thoughts & comments welcome…I

Seems like everyone is too busy or feel they have little to say to take the time to give you some input for the Retiree Reporter so I will give you an update. It’s been a couple of years so I guess the time is right.

 

 

Just want to say hi to all of my friends and hope that you are enjoying life as much as I am. I am still living in Xiamen, China with my Wife and Daughter. Nicole is now closing in on three years of age and she is the light of our lives. She is very well spoken in both Chinese and English, as well as a lot of the local language. She is non stop action and enjoys swimming, dancing, and other sports with Mom and Dad. She has a thirst for knowledge and wants to know about everything and how it works (sounds somewhat like an engineer).

 

Amber is still working at the Xiamen repair facility and still enjoying her work even under the difficult circumstances that have and still do exist. She enjoys sports and goes through a Yoga routine several times a week.

 

I am keeping active with my exercise program (swimming and weight lifting) several times each week. My photography and video hobby keeps me busy, not to mention trying to keep pace with Nicole. We still find time to do some hiking and mountain climbing which is even more fun now that we have Nicole to join us.

 

Everything is going well here and the economy is picking up. Lots of job openings at this point, but a lot of the people from the countryside are reluctant to return to the major cities until they are sure the jobs are going to last. If anyone has any questions about life in this part of the world I would be more than happy to answer them.

 

Again, best wishes to all.

Dear Retiree,

Congratulations: Welcome to the Wonderful World of Retirement

Many of you will be inclined to sit back and watch time go by, while others will engage in their favorite hobby, sport or volunteer project. Some will even look for a part time job to fill their time.

Regardless of the path you choose, one good way to enjoy retirement is to join the “Hamilton Sundstrand Retirees Club.” Our regular meeting is held on the second Wednesday of each month at a location and time as announced in the “Reporter”, our monthly on-line newspaper. This paper also highlights other less formal breakfast and lunches that are held at various times and has pictures of many of the attendees.

To join and make new friends or reacquaint with old friends access the “Reporter” at;

To be Held: Second Wednesday of the month



 You can also send your e-mail address toWarren88@aol.com and receive a monthly notification of each new issue of the newsletter and an updated retiree e-mail listing.
