@Oldfaithful Wonder? I'm not clear on what you mean but I think both are of an age they are ready to step down, retire or partial retirement, and enjoy more time with family and friends.
I retired one year ago. It took a lot of convincing from my husband. I did not want to. Now that I have, I realize that extra family time is far more important. I'm glad he convinced me. I assume that is what Carolyn and David are thinking. Only my assumption of course.
