Following my retirement in 1999, I returned to school – initially to work toward a master’s degree in economics.  I subsequently expanded that to two master's degree programs and several professional designation programs. I completed the first of my master's degree programs in May 2006 and the second one in September 2008.

I had begun my public accounting career in 1965, immediately out of college, and regretted not having had the chance to pursue an MBA degree.  While an MBA degree seemed unnecessary in retirement, the challenge of additional learning didn’t.  During my Price Waterhouse career, I had also completed other industry-specific and managerial-related education and professional designation programs to enhance service to my clients.
